Limassol may be the second-largest city in Cyprus but in many ways it is well ahead of the rest of the island, thanks in part to its own thriving business community which is active in virtually every sector of the economy. Home to the country’s extremely significant shipping industry since its beginnings in the 1970s, Limassol has always been at the centre of economic activity, notably regarding tourism and, in more recent years, the provision of professional services.
