Limassol Beaches

Kourium Beach - Everyone's favourite, very sandy, safe clear sea, a few good restaurants. Can get busy at weekends and bank holidays.
Lady's Mile Beach - Another favorite, perhaps due to its close location to the city (next to the new port). It has quite a few restaurants, some far nicer than others.
Akotori Beach - Almost impossible to find, following a road best suited to a 4x4 vehicle. Very sandy, very quiet, no restuarants. Locals tell us the sea is not safe for swimming.
