WHY
LIMASSOL?

all the main competition is located
in Limassol and being close to the
competition in a dynamic and fast

that is going on. It is the prime Forex hub in
the country and truly brings the same corporate

most attractive city in Cyprus for international

in Cyprus geographically, with the distance to
other towns and distances within the town being
short, and this is a great convenience for business
people who need to be in many places for meetings. The infrastructure of the city is very good,
getting from place to place is easy and simple,
all the major banks and institutions are here and

competitors and partners are nearby. Limassol is
a beautiful city to live and work in, combining
the elements of a busy and modern business hub
with those of a holiday destination. The pace of
business is fast and exciting but the pace of life
is relaxing and leisurely, so whilst there is still a
buzz, there is never the sense of chaos that other
big cities bring. Having lived and worked in
Moscow and New York, I know what it’s like
to be constantly in
