Limassol : Profile

Location

This important commercial port is located towards the western end of Cyprus' southern coast. It is a popular tourist location and a lively city.

Clearance

All the authorities are in one building in the commercial harbour.

Clearance can be arranged from the marina (for a charge).

Docking

Although it is permitted to anchor in the western corner of the commercial harbour, most yachts prefer the fishing harbour in front of the town if they can find space. Here yachts can possibly berth alongside, or, alternatively, berth bows-to at the pier immediately to the east.

There is good shelter from the prevailing westerly winds.

The marina in the northern part of the bay is a little remote from the town, being built in deep water and accessed by a causeway.

A second marina is planned to be opened in 2011.
