Cyprus may be a pretty tiny island, but that’s not stopping it from being home to some pretty amazing cities. Ayia Napa, Nicosia, and Paphos are among the first that came to mind, but Larnaca deserves as much attention, and here are five reasons why it’s worth checking out.
Getting There
Even if Larnaca isn’t your final destination, chances are you’ll end up here because it’s home to one of Cyprus’ busiest airports – so why not take some time to explore it before resuming your journey?
Chill Atmosphere
You can also leave Larnaca for the end of your trip because it’s a great place to just chill out since it’s much more relaxing than some of Cyprus’ main tourist hubs.
Stunning Beaches
Larnaca may not be home to some of Cyprus’ most famous beaches, but most of them still have a blue-flag ranking, including Finikoudes, Mackenzie, and Kastella Beach.
Natural Wonders
Beaches aren’t the only natural wonder that Larnaca has in store. You should also consider taking a walk around the Larnaca Salt Lake and trying to spot flamingos if you’re there at the right time.
History & Culture
In addition to being home to many stunning beaches and a scenic seaside promenade, Larnaca will win you over with its rich history and culture, especially if you visit the Church of Saint Lazarus and the Larnaka Medieval Fort.
