T o be able to claim that you are well represented in Cyprus, you need not only to have a presence but a strong presence in Limassol. In addition to being a tourist destination, Limassol is an international business hub, favoured by international clients that operate fully-fledged offices, as well as the centre of our thriving shipping industry. Although not the headquarters or WHY LIMASSOL? base for the banks, the utilities, the Stock Exchange and the regulators, Limassol still has very active local businesses which operate islandwide and a strong local presence is needed so as to serve them efficiently and effectively. Due to its popularity as a tourist destination but also thanks to the many expatriates who live there, Limassol has the cultural diversity and an international atmosphere that is unique on the island. Being a seaside city, it has developed the infrastructure necessary for tourism; as the largest deep sea port of Cyprus, it has developed the infrastructure for trade and shipping; and being a real city, it presents its residents with the best of all worlds: a relaxing bythe-sea atmosphere, an international and diverse population and, at the same time, a vibrant working business atmosphere.
