Coastal Rowing Competition
1-3 May 2026
Location
Limassol is the largest sea city in Cyprus, with a population of 260,000 people living in the region. Apart from being a major tourist destination, it is also a principal hub for international business. This gives the city a more cosmopolitan feel compared to other district centres. A city that combines two different worlds, the old town with the charming buildings and the medieval castle where Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre and crowned her Queen of England in 1191 next to huge skyscrapers that show the city's cosmopolitan character.
About the Venue
Malindi Beach is located east of Limassol between Pareklissia Beach and Grand Resort Beach. It has been awarded a Blue Flag for its wonderful clean blue waters. The beach is covered with golden sand and is surrounded by palm trees. There is a bar and a restaurant right on the beach, showers and changing rooms are available. Nearby is St. Raphael Marina.
