Lemesos – Ancient Amathous Cycling Route

The route begins from the old port of Lemesos (Limassol) and heads northeast along the coast. It goes through the tourist area of Germasogeia with its many shops, nightclubs, restaurants, hotels and traditional tavernas. It ends at the archaeological site of Amathous. A short distance down the road is the old chapel of Agia Varvara, once a favourite spot for local fishermen. There is a beautiful eucalyptus grove that provides plenty of shade for swimmers just opposite the chapel.
