Limassol is well connected by road to Larnaca, Paphos and the eastern resorts, so the shop sits within easy reach of most island stays. Driving is on the left.
Limassol's position on the south coast makes it a natural stop between the island's other towns, with the Troodos range lying inland.
Commandaria, a sweet wine made from sun-dried grapes, has been produced on the island for centuries, and a book about the region pairs well with a glass.
