Before the invention of plumbing, the bathhouse was a strategic institution in any city. That is why one of the oldest streets in Limassol iscalled Bath Street, “Loutron.” It is a winding alley, characteristic of the Middle Ages.

The Turkish hammam here is, according to local historians, the oldest public building in the city.
It is believed that there was a bathhouse here much earlier, in the 16th century, when the island belonged to Venice. A private investor recently restored the bathhouse.

On the corner of the street, opposite the entrance to the hammam, we can see an unassuming white building housing the kitchen of a neighboring restaurant; according to the architect Tassos Andreou, this is the oldest house in the city.
On the other side of the alley, look out for the warehouses with two windows and a gate in the middle. Walk through the alleys and vacant lots of the area around; there is still plenty of textured antiquity.
