Host City
Limassol is the second largest urban area in Cyprus with a population of 242.000 inhabitants. It is also the largest city geographically and the largest Municipality of the island with 101,000 inhabitants.
Limassol has evolved into one of the major tourist, trade and service centers in the region. Here is also the Cyprus University of Technology and other private universities. It is known for its tradition of culture and hosts a large number of tourists mainly during the protracted summer season. Limassol is the center of many offshore companies and business centers. It also hosts the Mediterranean’s largest port for the transit of goods and has strong historical links with neighboring countries such as Lebanon and Israel.
The city is also the base for many of the island’s wine industries, serving the wine-growing areas on the southern slopes of Troodos Mountains (of which the most famous is the Commandaria). Wines and cognac produced from grapes grown in the countryside are of exceptional quality and have won many awards. Large quantities are exported to Europe.
Of all the cities of the island, Limassol is beyond any doubt the most cosmopolitan. Limassol hosts the largest Russian community and a significant number of foreign, European and third-country nationals.
The city is also known for its culture tradition. It offers the opportunity for visitors to attend various activities and to visit many Museums and Archaeological sites and combines in a unique way the Ancient, Frankish, Byzantine and other modern historical influences.
