About

Discover the history of Larnaca

Larnaca, a Mediterranean coastal city with mild weather, centers around Finikoudes beach, lined with palm trees and restaurants serving fresh fish and mezzas. Its calm, shallow waters are perfect for family swimming, while Mackenzie beach attracts windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts. The Zenobia wreck offshore ranks among the Mediterranean's most renowned diving sites. Larnaca Salt Lake, a protected wetland, welcomes pink flamingos in winter and serves as a stopover for migratory birds, near the Hala Sultan Tekke site. Saint Lazarus Church and the marina complete this landscape where sunshine and water sports define the year.
