The coast
Swimming and beaches
Limassol's seafront runs for more than 15 km, with Blue Flag beaches such as Dasoudi and Enaerios reachable in a short drive from Ayios Athanasios and Columbia.
The sea stays warm enough for swimming from May into November, so an early swim before work is a realistic routine rather than a holiday treat.
