Germasogia, Cyprus
An interesting excursion from Limassol is Germasogia. The village was fortified in the medieval period by the Knights Templar.
It's main interest today is the dam which was built in 1968. It is a popular picnic spot and a pleasant change from a day on the beach, although in the height of summer the reservoir may be fairly empty.

Governor's Beach
Governor's Beach is just off the Nicosia-Limassol Road. There is a large campsite here and a taverna on the clifftop. The beach lies down some steps at the bottom of white cliffs, which stand in sharp contrast to its dark sand.
