Just 30 minutes from Limassol seafront,
Lofou is well
placed for a trip to the beach. The town beach is some 10km long and
offers a multitude of watersports, bars, restaurants, promenade and
toilet & shower facilities.

snorkelling by the rocks.

restaurants close by. Watersports facilities. Pissouri village is high
up on the hill above and worth a visit.
