What to do in Larnaca?
Larnaca is a laid-back seaside city that blends ancient history with a relaxed, local vibe. Located on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, it’s often seen as the gateway to the island, thanks to its international airport. But Larnaca is more than just a transit point—it's a city with authentic charm, historical depth, and a slower pace that invites exploration.
Start your visit at the iconic Finikoudes Promenade, lined with palm trees, beachside cafés, and casual tavernas. It’s the perfect place for a sunset stroll or a relaxed meal overlooking the sea. Just a few steps inland stands the Church of Saint Lazarus, one of the most important Orthodox landmarks in Cyprus. Built in the 9th century, it’s said to house the tomb of Lazarus himself.
For those intrigued by history, a walk through the nearby Turkish Quarter reveals traditional architecture, artisan shops, and the Larnaca Fort, which doubles as a small museum and provides lovely views of the coast. Don’t miss the Kamares Aqueduct on the edge of town, an 18th-century Ottoman marvel once used to supply water to the city.
Nature lovers should head to the Larnaca Salt Lake, especially during winter when it's home to flocks of flamingos and other migratory birds. Nearby, the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque is one of Islam’s holiest sites outside of Mecca and Medina, nestled peacefully by the lake.
Larnaca is also a hotspot for diving, with the world-famous Zenobia wreck just offshore. This Swedish ferry sank in 1980 and is now one of the top wreck diving sites globally, attracting divers from around the world. With its mix of history, culture, and coastal charm, Larnaca offers a uniquely Cypriot experience away from the crowds.
