Limassol: Walking the Old Town and the Seashore

travel 1 Minute

As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, it’s not that much of the old Limassol left, but we still wondered some of the older streets before we headed back to the hotel.

Former karavan sarai turned into the cafe, the picture was taken the next evening

I have to admit I was utterly ignorant of the history of Cyprus, and never thought about it as a former part of the British Empire. Even after I realized that they have English electricity, it didn’t occur to me that the traffic is left-sided (and you need to be mentally prepared for that!) Same, the bikers go on the left side of the bike paths, and as a pedestrian, you need to keep left and to pass on the right. That hour-long walk back was a mental challenge, but the sites were stunning!

I could not skip then!
The final stretch of the path was a little bit away from the seashore, but also beautiful!
It was a nice surprise to see the clothing bank along the path
We reached our hotel just the minutes before the sunset

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
