AROUND THE WORLD : LIMASSOL

Limassol_location_Map

The second-largest urban area in Cyprus with a population of just under 200,000, Limassol sits on the southern side of the island.  The area has been inhabited since very ancient times, with graves found there dating back to 2000 BC.  In modern times, it has become a well-developed tourist destination, boasting a hot and dry climate, although unlike other parts of the island, it is not a place renowned for beaches.

I’m guessing that either Paul Smith or Archis Tiku once holidayed in Limassol, as I can’t really think of any other reason as to why they would have been inspired to write this song for their band.

mp3: Maximo Park – Limassol

One of their earliest and most popular numbers, dating back to 2005 and the debut album, A Certain Trigger.
