Freshwater reservoir
Description:

Limassol is famous for its freshwater reservoir, which was built in 1968. It is located near the village of Germasoya. Its volume is more than 13 million cubic meters of water.
The reservoir is a favorite place not only for tourists, but also for fishermen. Fishing is allowed here, but those who wish to swim can face a fine. Places near the reservoir are equipped with observation decks and camping for tourists.
There is a city bus from Limassol to the village of Germasoya. And to admire the beauty of the reservoir, you can use the hiking trails. The walk can be carried out both on foot and by bicycle.
