Fasouri Watermania Water Park
Boasting over 30 slides and attractions for visitors of all ages, Limassol’s Fasouri Watermania Water Park is a great way to diversify your visit to the city. The park is regarded as one of the finest of its kind in Europe and was once even named as the best in the continent at the World Travel Awards. Spacious, clean and not too crowded; in spite of the park’s popularity, you can even find yourself having a relaxing time taking everything at your own pace.
For better or for worse, restrictions mean that Lady Mile Beach, like its surrounding areas, can’t be invested in. These restrictions have resulted in an unspoilt beach that’s perfect for families with young children. The warm sea water is shallow while the long beach is comprised of soft, golden sand, making it ideal for a gentle stroll in the sunshine. There is a feeling of seclusion on the beach because of its location, though tavernas serving food and drinks are available close by.
