Map & Location…

It’s time to start considering a relaxing coastal holiday abroad and where better than the Mediterranean? More specifically, Cyprus! This enchanting island nation was home to Aphrodite, Goddess of ; beauty, love, passion and pleasure – so you are safe to make the assumption that you will be living in bliss!

AMARA is located in Limassol (Lemesos), which can be found between the ancient cities of Amathus and Kourion (Curium). Limassol is said to date back to 2000BC, so it’s not uncommon to see Castles and Medieval Museums. Today, the historic centre spirals out across a network or lanes and roads, where old shuttered houses and contemporary Boutiques can be visited. The heartbeat of Limassol is its Marina, which is the home of many glamorous shops and fabulous yachts. There is always a buzz in the air, so expect vibrant with cafes, bars and restaurants.

Limassol is shrouded in an incredible history, so a day-trip here-and-there is certainly worth it. For instance, the Kourion is a UNESCO-protected archaeology park just west of Limassol that is over 6,000 years old. Today, you are able to view the terracing of an ancient theatre and the ‘House and Baths of Eustolios’, where well preserved mosaics are waiting to be looked upon.

If you’re in search of some local wilderness, travel further afoot to the west of the island, where you will find the Cypriot wilderness nearby Akamas Nature Reserve. With over 230 square kilometres of coverage, surrounded by gorges; valleys and wide sandy bays, Akamas is the perfect day trip for those who wish to observe wildlife diversity. The Reserves boasts impressive numbers of protected animals, including; 168 varieties of birds, 20 different reptiles, 16 species of butterfly and 12 different mammals.
