Escape the heat with a summer getaway to City of Dreams Mediterranean in Cyprus
If you're thinking of a Mediterranean escape this summer, Limassol should be on your radar.
Just a four-hour flight from the UAE, this coastal city in southern Cyprus serves up sunny days, sparkling sea views and a mix of old-world charm and modern-day fun.
And while you're there, check into City of Dreams Mediterranean, one of Europe's largest integrated resorts, where your holiday can be as chilled (or action-packed) as you like.
Think lazy beach days, scenic mountain drives and a few history-packed detours thrown in.
Be amazed at the Greco-Roman ruins at the ancient city of Kourion and the medieval Kolossi Castle, sweat it off on a hike up the Troodos Mountains, or find a perch on the sand at Lady's Mile to dive into a nice beach read.
And after you're done roaming the streets, snacking on kebabs and devouring the picturesque views all around, you can unwind at one of the most stunning destinations in the Med.
The City of Dreams Mediterranean features 500 plush rooms and suites, all offering serene views over the Mediterranean Sea, Akrotiri Salt Lake or the Troodos Mountains.
The real treat, though, lies in the details, like Arabic-speaking staff, gourmet dining, family zones and exclusive spa services that make every moment feel tailor-made.
