Let’s immerse ourselves in the history of world architecture on two of Limassol’s main streets, living vibrant and active lifestyle decades ago, but today the crowds of town’s folk have been replaced by students, tourists, and officialdom. We will feel the breath of the brisk 20th century with references to various architectural styles of the past and learn to perceive a beauty in the familiar.

I would like to thank municipal counselors Kristis Demetriou, the historians of Limassol Adamos Kombos, Christakis Serghides, and the stuff of the Municipal Limassol Library for helping me to prepare these walks for you.
