Limassol Promenade (Molos)

By: Nofar Ronen

The Molos area, located near the marina, is the heart of Limassol and one of its most popular spots. People come here to stroll, jog, cycle, play with their children, or simply sit back and relax by the sea.

Events

From time to time, large live performances are held here, and the area plays a major role in the annual Limassol Carnival parade (held every year at the end of February or early March). Additionally, various sporting events, such as the Limassol Marathon, pass along the promenade, bringing a lively and vibrant atmosphere to the area. Rollerblade and skateboard enthusiasts will also find ramps at Molos designed especially for them, drawing in young people and thrill-seekers.

Restaurants and Cafes

Naturally, no mention of Molos would be complete without highlighting its excellent food and drink options. In the area, you can find Caffe Nero, one of the island’s well-known cafes. I recommend trying their cheesecake or spinach pie; they also serve quite decent sandwiches and salads. For something more filling, Red Resto Bar Pizza Romana is an excellent choice for Italian cuisine—their pizzas and pasta are fantastic, and the cocktails won’t disappoint either. On weekends, you’ll also find stalls offering fresh juices and grilled corn—if the corn stall is open, I highly recommend trying it with butter and salt; it’s simply delicious!

Across the road, you’ll find street food options like shawarma and Indian street food, as well as a few convenience stores. If you walk another ten minutes toward the marina and the old port area, you’ll find an even wider selection of restaurants, cafes, and bars. The area is bustling in the evenings and on weekends, with a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.

Beach

If you feel like enjoying the sea, you can head to the nearby beach. It’s a well-kept beach with sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent at €2.50 per item (umbrella or sunbed, payable per day/hour). It’s perfect for a relaxing day in the sun, and you can also swim in the pleasant waters of the Mediterranean.

Playgrounds

The promenade is suitable for all ages, with various activity options. For example, Molos has several great playgrounds, suitable for both toddlers and older children. Our girls, aged two and five, love playing there. The playgrounds are spacious, and equipped with quality and safe equipment.

Jogging and Cycling Paths

For fitness enthusiasts, Molos offers excellent jogging and cycling paths. Convenient paths run along the entire promenade, and bikes can be rented by the minute or hour from rental spots around the area. It’s a fun way to enjoy the beautiful sea views as you make your way along the promenade.

Parking

Parking in the Molos area is generally organized and accessible, though it can get busy on weekends. With a bit of luck, you can find a spot in metered parking, but if not, there are additional parking options in the old city area and nearby paid lots.

We moved to Limassol three and a half years ago and visit the Molos area frequently. As a couple working from home, we love going to Caffe Nero and sitting by the sea with our laptops—there’s a large table designated specifically for people working, and it’s always nice to combine work with such a relaxing view. Our girls enjoy playing in the playgrounds there, riding their scooters, or running on the wide lawns and promenade, which gives them plenty of room to roam freely. We also enjoy dining at the various restaurants and cafes in the area and spending time at the nearby beach.
