More about Limassol.
Limassol (Greek: Λεμεσός, Lemesos; Turkish:
Limasol, alt. Leymosun) is the second-largest city of Cyprus,
with a population of 176.900 (2005), the largest city in geographical
size, and the biggest municipality of the island. The city is located on
Akrotiri Bay, on the island's southern coast and it is the capital of
Limassol District.
It is the biggest port in the Mediterranean transit trade.
Limassol has since then become one of the most important tourism, trade
and service-providing centre in the area. Limassol is renowned for its
long cultural tradition. A wide spectrum of activities and a great
number of museums and archaeological sites are available to the
interested visitor.
Limassol was built between two ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, so
during Byzantine rule it was known as Neapolis (new town). Limassol's
tourist strip now runs east along the coast as far as Amathus. To the
west of the city is the Akrotiri Sovereign Base Area of the United
Kingdom.
Limassol also attracts a wide range of tourists mostly during the summer
season to be accommodated in its several luxurious hotels and
apartments. Limassol is also home to the Cyprus University of
Technology. |

Building the most beautiful marinas in Med - Starting with Limassol,
Cyprus
FOLLOWING the announcement for the construction of a
Limassol Marina, the Ministry of Commerce has pledged that three more
marinas, in Paphos, Larnaca and in Ayia Napa are in the works. The
creation of the three marinas aims to render Cyprus a major attraction
for nautical tourism in the Mediterranean.The agreement for the creation
of Limassol Marina was signed yesterday between the Minister of Commerce
Antonis Michaelides and Marios Lanitis, representing the “Limassol
Marina” group of companies, which will be responsible for the
construction and management of the marina through the BOT method.
“The Limassol Marina is a project which will differentiate the city of
Limassol and will alter Cyprus’ status,” said Marios Lanitis. “The
project, situated at the heart of Limassol, is in complete harmony with
the surrounding area, and it will create growth opportunities for
Limassol, making it a landmark development for Cyprus as well as for the
nearby region.” “This is a project of great importance for the city, but
also for the whole of Cyprus,” said Andreas Christou, Mayor of Limassol.
“It is the first Marina to be constructed using this method, so the
experiences gained and all aspects of the preparation will act as the
basis for future agreements.”
Limassol Marina will be the first of four to be constructed in Cyprus,
as Minister Antonis Michaelides confirmed yesterday. “I am pleased to
announce that the evaluation and bidding procedure for a Paphos Marina
are in their final stage,” he said. Limassol Marina and Paphos Marina
will have a capacity to hold 1,000 boats each, while Ayia Napa Marina
will be able to house 600 boats. In addition to the creation of the new
marinas, the state announced plans for the improvement of Latsi and Kato
Paphos areas, as Marinas and as fishing refuge spaces. “We are thus
enriching the entire seafront of free Cyprus. Luxury vessels, alongside
fishing boats with Latsi and Paphos in the background will make up a
landscape of unique beauty. These will be the most beautiful marinas in
the Mediterranean,” Minister Michaelides said.
Preliminary studies for Limassol Marina were initiated in 1992
with a vision of developing Cyprus’ nautical tourism product. The
bidding announcement procedure did not start until 2003 and stalled due
to the lack of interest from would-be investors. When the successful
bidder was found, other problems ensued such as removing the marina area
from the beach protection zone, assigning the necessary status to the
area, approving Limassol Local Action Plan 2006 and negotiating
the terms of an agreement that allows the Hanseatic School to remain in
the marina area. Limassol Marina will offer a range of services
including dining, residential, shopping and conference space. A green
park will surround the marina, while all buildings within it will adhere
to old Limassol’s traditional architecture standards. The total cost for
the project amounts to €170 million. Construction work will start in six
months and will be completed in three years.
The strategic investor will execute the plan and manage the marina for
53 years, and retain profit rights for 37 additional years. The
‘Limassol Marina’ group of companies comprises
J&P, Avax A.E.,
Cybarco PLC,
Frangoudi & Stephanou, Ioannou &
Paraskevaides Ltd., Athena ATE,
CADS Holding Ltd and the
Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry (EBEL) through the
Limassol Marina Development Company. Mayor Christou said the marina was
part of a general vision and a series of projects aiming to direct the
character of Limassol back to where it belongs: the sea. “This important
project adds to a chain of many and important works undertaken by
Limassol Council along the coastal zone, in order to showcase Limassol’s
identity, its naval and sea character.
“Olympion Coast, the reclamation area where improvement works will start
in a year, the completion of Phytidion Athletic Centre, the old port
which will also be improved this year, the Nautical Museum, the marina,
the conference centre which we want to be placed between the old and new
ports, the new passenger lobby, the port roads, the plan for the
improvement of the road to Lady’s Mile beach using
environmentally-friendly material, with pedestrian roads, parking space,
lighting and services, but also other smaller projects, turn Limassol
towards its natural element, which is the sea and make the city one of
the most attractive destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean,” Christou
said. |

Limassol Marina - News 2
NICOSIA, JANUARY 25 - The agreement for the
creation of a euros 173 million-worth marina in Limassol will be
formally sealed today, between the Minister of Commerce Antonis
Michaelides and Marios Lanitis, representing the 'Limassol Marina' group
of companies. The project, characterised as the biggest tourist
infrastructure work in Limassol, is expected to boost the town's tourist
sector by attracting quality visitors.
Limassol Marina will be located to the west of the old port, taking over
the entire seaside area from the old to the new port. It will
accommodate up to 1,000 vessels and will offer a range of services
including dining, residential, shopping and conference space. A green
park will surround the marina, while all buildings within it will adhere
to old Limassol's traditional architecture standards. Following the
signing of the preliminary agreement tomorrow, a final agreement will be
sealed within six months.
The group of investors is then expected to commission experts to
undertake an environmental impact assessment, detailing the project's
possible adverse effects on the environment. Once this goes through the
Environment Service, construction work can begin. It is expected that
construction will be completed in two years for the marina itself, and
within six to seven years for the residential area that will surround
it.
The marina will be constructed and managed by the Built Operate and
Transfer (BOT) method which involves a strategic investor building and
managing a project for a number of years, and then transferring it back
to the state. In this case, the strategic investor will execute the plan
and manage the marina for 53 years, and retain profit rights for 37
additional years. The 'Limassol Marina' group of companies comprises J&P
Avax A.E., Cybarco PLC, Frangoudi & Stefanou, Ioannou & Paraskevaidi,
Athena ATE, Cads, Holding Ltd and the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (EBEL) through the Limassol Marina Development Company. |

Press release from A.F. MODINOS & S.A. VRAHIMIS, Chartered
Architects and Engineers
We are very proud to mention our most recent success
in the field of tourism which is our participation in the creation of
the Limassol Marina - the largest tourist development project on the
Island.
Our company together with the leading French water engineering firm
Sogreah and Atelier Xavier Bohl,
and a very strong consortium made up of Cybarco, Francoudi & Stephanou,
the Limassol Chamber of Commerce, and Athena S.A., successful bid and
won the tender to construct the first marina of Cyprus, the Limassol
Marina.
This project envisages a world class marina, which will be
environmentally friendly, with a wide range of services and attractions
unsurpassed anywhere in Cyprus. These will include quality waterside
residential and commercial developments, lifestyle attributes such as
recreation centers, restaurants, clubs, entertainment, sports, bicycle
and walking paths and even a traditional church. Over 1000 berths will
be available for small and larger yachts and the whole operation will be
managed and operated by quality and experienced operators.
Our company (again in cooperation with Sogreah) and a consortium of
highly experienced professionals, were recently also pre-qualified and
short-listed to submit our bid for the creation of the Paphos Marina.
The Consortium on this project includes Leptos Pandora Ltd, Cybarco,
J&P, J&P Avax, Francoudi & Stephanou, Cads Holdings Ltd and Athena S.A.
On both proposals, our office worked in close cooperation with the
renowned office of Marina Master Planner Xavier Bohl. |

The Cyprus Government
says that the marinas projects are on track.
The plans in the
pipeline are these: the expansion and upgrading of the
Larnaca marina, with space for 1000 berths;
Limassol marina with a capacity for 1,000 berths;
Paphos 1,000 berths; Ayia Napa
650 berths; and Paralimni 250-300.
From these, the
Limassol marina appears the most impressive.
Located between the old harbour and the ceramics factory, it
will be supported by an entire commercial centre to be built at
the site, featuring shopping malls, cafeterias, restaurants,
gyms, spas, ballroom dancing halls, hairdressers, indoor sports
arenas, and a conference centre. The end result, it is
envisioned, will be a mini-town within Limassol.
The
Limassol project also seems to be the closest to
fruition. According to Minister of Trade, Industry and Tourism
Antonis Michaelides, signatures should be put on paper “very
soon”. Michaelides said the drafting of the contract with the
successful tenderer was “a mere formality”, and that under the
terms the project must be completed within three years of
signing the agreement. “It will be like nothing else the Middle
East area has ever seen,” Michaelides added.
Cyprus is on the verge of
finally getting on the map of
nautical
tourism.
