Limassol
From our marina it is a promenade all the way to Limassol town, about 14 km, but it is also busses every 15 minutes (at least) so we decided to take the bus to town to explore.
Limassol Zoo
Limassol Zoo is a little bit outside the city center, but a nice distance to walk into town after visiting. So we took the bus there and jumped off almost rigth outside the zoo. This zoo is open all year around and the tickets for an adult is 5 euro. It is a small zoo, we had one and a half hour to walk around before they closed. That was enough for us.
There is a lot of different animals, I am sorry I can`t tell you the names of all of them… Take a look at their website and read about the animals there.

A nice place to visit even if you don`t have kids. For February/March it is perfect weather/temperature to walk around. Everything is outside.

After visiting the zoo we walked along the promenade to the city center. Really beautiful here!
East of the city center it is some new hotels, looks like it is a big city!
A lot of arts along the promenade
Limassol is a big city, compared to our hometown Florø, with 180.000 inhabitants. It is a nice place to visit through the winter because there are still shops and restaurants open.
