Places around Limassol2 min readUpdated July 2026
Governor's Beach
White chalk cliffs and dark sand east of Limassol, the classic half-day trip.
The setting
A series of small dark-sand coves under bright white cliffs, roughly thirty minutes east of the city, with long-established fish tavernas above the water.
Timing
Weekday mornings are quiet; summer Sundays are not. The contrast of chalk and dark sand is at its best in late afternoon light.
