The wine festival takes place at the end of August for about 10 days. It is a must if you are in town! The municipal gardens hosts other festivals (e.g. Chinese Festival of Culture) at other times and is a quiet park between events.

Parks & Nature
Limassol Zoo
Vyronos AvenueGreat views, monasteries, traditional goods, cafes and restaurants. Lovely hiking or biking trails and plenty of waterfalls. It is a few degrees cooler in the mountains so go prepared! You can even ski here in the winter months (some people ski down and drive down to the sea for a swim after)!
Caledonian Falls near Platres is a good walk with waterfalls and a fresh trout restaurant nearby that is relatively easy and not too tiring - not good for pushchairs but an able 5 year old would be fine.

Everything Else
Several cafes and restaurants along a long sandy beach (our favourite is Captain's Cabin). Moored inflatables in the sea and slides and climbing frames on the beach. You can see the Cyprus flamingos on the drive down.
