Limmasol port stop-what to do?

[Chelled123]

Hi. We will be on the Norwegian Jade and will be in Limassol, Cyprus from 7a-2p. Does any one have recs on what we should do there? Is it easy to hire a taxi in Limmasol to drive us around for the day? Maybe go to Paphos and a winery? What is Limmasol like? Are there any private tour companies that you recommend using? I appreciate any suggestions.

What port tours are offered for Limassol? (Note how it’s spelt!) 

 

I know Limassol well but not the port area. 
 

I’ve seen Spanos recommended for excursions on other threads 

https://www.spanosbusescyprus.com/ 
so you can look here.
 

Please note I’ve not been with him though as I have my own car in Cyprus.

Limassol itself (where the ships dock) is a not-at-all interesting place. You should definitely make plans to get outside the city and see something of the island, whether that is Paphos or Kourion or some of the small villages or the beach.

 

On one visit I negotiated with a local taxi to take me to a few archaeological sites around Limassol. On the second visit I took a local bus to Paphos and back, but we had a full day in port.

We hired Spanos Bus Tour and took their Tour 2 which went to the mountain area, winery, and a small village.   Great communication via email to set up….only 16 people on our tour.  Was a. Ice change from the heat and fast pace of Israel.
