A beautiful sunny day in Limassol, Cyprus, perfect for a long walk and enjoying this gorgeous city by the Mediterranean Sea... I had the idea to explore many parts of the city where I haven't been before, but unfortunately, the weather changed quickly, and the rain spoiled the walk... Nevertheless, it's just another reason to return, and I believe you will also enjoy this brief May stroll...
