Limassol's Disappointing 2025: A City Losing its Appeal

Limassol is facing significant challenges despite efforts by authorities to improve the situation. In 2025, the city and province did not show improvement compared to the past, leading to citizen disappointment and uncertainty. Uncontrolled development, with the construction of high-rise buildings and the alteration of the city's facade, combined with traffic chaos, is worsening the situation. While a few are prospering, ordinary people are experiencing hardship and despair due to social inequality and the difficulty of accessing housing. The pursuit of profit and citizen indifference contribute to the deterioration, making Limassol less attractive despite its tourism boom.
