Lemesos

This was my first stop in Cyprus. Drove to this city directly after arriving in Larnaca Airport at night. Only for the location, nearby Trodoos and Ancient Kourion, I decided to stay here one night. I stayed in a backpacker hostel, called Luxor Guest House, met with the staff, Dean, an old eccentric American Cypriot and shared his brandy with other guests that night.
The sightseeing sites in the city themselves were not worth the reason to visit this city solely. Lemesos Castle, the main attraction was relatively expensive to enter and not much to see, though ones maybe interested in seeing the museum. I saw a couple of nice churches. The small pedestrian path was not that interesting.
