Cyprus is a very livable city. The long summer lasts from mid-May to mid-October each year, with an average temperature of 26 to 29 degrees Celsius; winter is from November to February, with an average temperature of 10 to 13 degrees Celsius. With its pleasant climate and diverse scenery, the island of Cyprus is an excellent choice for those who love nature and outdoor sports.
Bellapais Abbey
Bellapais Abbey is located near Kyrenia in the Turkish-controlled area of Cyprus. Built between 1198 and 1205, this Gothic structure has a history of over 800 years. Built on a hillside, the abbey consists of a main hall, cloisters, gardens, an underground refectory, and a pulpit. Today, it has become one of the main tourist attractions in Northern Cyprus, with a constant stream of foreign tourists visiting throughout the year.
Limassol Medieval Castle
Limassol Medieval Castle was built in the early Byzantine period. In 1191, the wedding ceremony of King Richard the Lionheart and the Princess of Navarre was held here. In 1570, the city was occupied by the Turks and subsequently became a British colony. Each era has renovated the ancient castle, resulting in a complex architectural style. It is now used as a medieval museum, primarily exhibiting medieval artifacts.
Amathous Archaeological Site
The Amathous Archaeological Site is one of the ancient city-kingdom ruins of Cyprus. According to Greek mythology, Theseus fought the Minotaur here to protect the pregnant Ariadne (daughter of King Minos). The worship of the goddess of love (Aphrodite-Astarte) was very prevalent among the people here at that time. Excavated artifacts show that the ancient city was divided into upper and lower parts; the upper part contains the famous ancient Greek acropolis, while the lower part contains the agora and other structures. Among the existing ruins, there are five ancient churches built during the ancient, Roman, and Christian eras.
Roman Amphitheatre
Travelers who love history and culture will also find plenty to enjoy in Limassol. Along the beautiful western coastline, historical sites are everywhere, including a Roman amphitheatre that can accommodate 3,500 spectators, and the adjacent House of Eustolios—a mansion ruin consisting of 30 rooms and a bathhouse. These monuments silently reveal the vicissitudes of the ancient city of Kourion, which was built in the 14th century BC.
Limassol Old Town
In the old town of Limassol, you can see both new and old shops on St. Andrews Street and Anexartisias Street, visit the Limassol Castle with its rich collection of ancient artifacts, or find a café converted from an old house to sit and savor the pace of life and the rustic charm of the old town, which makes for a wonderful historical and cultural journey.
Outside the city of Limassol, in the middle of a fertile plain, you can also pay tribute to the history of the Crusades—the 700-year-old Kolossi Castle. It is said that the Crusaders stationed there once used hot oil to deter enemies, pouring it through small holes in the castle walls... Today, the traces of history are still faintly visible, quietly telling the cruelty of war!
Every city has its own cultural heritage. After arriving in Cyprus, you will be attracted by its strong cultural atmosphere. Immigrating to Cyprus not only allows you to invest and increase your economic returns, but also to enjoy its beautiful scenery and learn about its culture, making your immigration journey truly worthwhile.
