Hoegaarden Beer
Cyprus: Sun, sea and sand… and a beer festival by Andrew Regan
If sunshine and sand coupled with great music and a selection of fine beers sounds like your idea of fun, the Limassol beer festival in Cyprus should definitely be in your diary.
Cyprus has been a popular holiday destination for many years with tourist numbers continuing to grow. It’s easy to see why this Mediterranean island is a firm favourite; an abundance of sandy beaches, stunning scenery and historical sights along with a buzzing nightlife make this the ideal destination for over 2.4 million visitors each year.
Increasing tourist numbers are matched by the ever expanding variety of festivals, carnivals and activities taking place in Cyprus, including Limassol’s beer festival.
Nestled beneath the magnificent Troodos Mountains the south coast town of Limassol has a population of around 225,000, making it the second largest town in Cyprus and one renowned for its festivals. Annual drama, wine and flower festivals mean there is always something on the calendar to suit everyone, but for beer lovers there is something extra special.
Growing massively in popularity since its introduction in 2003, the three day Limassol beer festival takes place on the oceans edge in the Molos area, located in the heart of the traditional town centre. Visitors can enjoy the festival’s wide offering of the best local and imported beers including KEO, Budweiser, Leffe and Hoegaarden plus many more. Affordably priced beer and free entrance to the beer festival means visitors have more Euros to spend on sampling some of the world’s finest brews.
Hunger pangs can be satisfied with offerings ranging from traditional Cypriot food to pizza and Bavarian delicacies.
From pop to rock and latin to trance, the music is as varied as the beer and the line-up always includes both local and international DJ’s and bands.
If visitors want to extend their holiday, Limassol is the ideal spot to explore from. To the west of the town lie the intriguing rock-formations of Petra tou Romiou, claimed to be the birthplace of the mythological figure Aphrodite. Some of Cyprus’s best beaches also lie in close proximity to Limassol and water sports are plentiful: scuba-diving, water-skiing, wind and kite surfing to name a few.
Getting to Cyprus couldn’t be easier as there are a number of airports accessible to visitors from around the globe. Larnaca International Airport is located in the south east corner of the island while Paphos airport is situated east of the resort of Paphos itself. Travel expenses shouldn’t pose an issue, even for those on a shoestring budget, as cheap flights to Cyprus are common place. The same applies to accommodation in Limassol and indeed throughout the whole island. Options range from villas and apartments to luxury hotels.
The next beer festival runs from 27 to 29 July 2008 so don’t delay – book a trip to Limassol and enjoy some of life’s finer offerings.
