Limassol (Lemesos) is the second biggest town in Cypress (after Nicosia in the center, which is divided between Turkey and Greece). Limassol is on the south part of the island, whereas Turkey owns the north part.

I’ve been on many different islands in Greece and multiple times on the mainland, so it surprised me quite a bit, that the taxi driver we hired at the port entered the car on the right side and started driving on the left side of the road 🥶.

Later, on the way back to the ship, we learned the reason behind this: England used to occupy Cyprus for 50 years. They left and what they left what traffic on the left…..

We spend the day floating around the old town, visited the Limassol museum, the market, we are not Greek, but Cyprus salad, walked along the shore and enjoyed another warm sunny day at the Mediterranean. The war in Israel dimmed our mood and made me feel guilty of playing tourist, where – not far from us – people explode in hatred and kill each other…
