The old port of Limassol was built as a supplement to the Famagusta port for trade and passengers. However, when the new port was constructed in 1973, and because of the massive development of the shipping industry, the use of Old Port began to diminish. The Old Port of Limassol has now become a tourist hub over the past few years and is a leading attraction for any night out. The rebirth of the Old Port has brought some great new restaurants and the way contemporary blends with the old in this city is absolutely enchanting.

The picturesque fishing harbour presents the most beautiful sight as the fishermen boats stand out all day and set out in the night for fishing,

returning in the wee hours of the morning with their catch. With the fresh fish available, res-taurants are steaming with great seafood; be it grilled, steamed, deep fried or tempura style. Gastronomical and entertainment options within the brand new "old port" are too many. Kipriakon has quickly become a new hotspot for Cypriot food lovers. Modern and sophisticated ambience and authentic food have earned Kipriakon a nomination in Time Out Eating Awards 2017 in the New Entry category. Some of the dishes featured on the menu are prepared with 100 years old recipes.
