Limassol has been a popular tourist destination since the 1970s. It attracts between 300,000 to 400,000 visitors annually, which is around twice its population. Even though efforts are made to establish Limassol as a year-round destination, tourists primarily visit between the months of May and October. This fact imposes great pressure on the city’s mobility services. It leads to increased traffic and street noise, lack of sufficient parking spaces, unnecessary trips due to lack of parking, and other related challenges.
