Location
Directions
This old Greek-Cypriot cemetery, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, has several entrances, but the relevant one
is on the south side, situated next to a new church, on the main road leading east from the roundabout
on Archbishop Makarios Avenue. The oldest part of the cemetery, containing the British graves, is in the
southeast corner, about thirty metres within and to the left of the old entrance, near an old stone storage
hut (shown in the photo).
The Cemetery in Context
In the War Office files in The National Archives at Kew, there is a register of burials that intriguingly
mentions a solitary military burial at the ‘Greek Cemetery Limassol’.1
