Things to Do in Larnaca
A short local guide to Larnaca's best sights, outdoor favourites and indoor ideas for when it's too hot or wet.
Larnaca Salt Lake & Hala Sultan Tekke
In winter the Salt Lake often hosts flamingos. The walking trail leads to Hala Sultan Tekke, one of the most important Muslim sites in Cyprus, set among palm trees by the water.
Finikoudes Promenade
Larnaca's palm-lined seafront is the place for an evening walk, an ice cream or a drink facing the sea, with the marina at one end.
Church of Saint Lazarus
This 9th-century stone church in the old town is one of the island's best-known landmarks and an easy stop near the seafront.
Kamares Aqueduct
The 18th-century arches on the edge of town are lit up at night and worth a quick look on the way in or out of Larnaca.
Diving the Zenobia
The Zenobia wreck off Larnaca is regularly listed among the best wreck dives in the world. Local dive centres run trips for certified divers.
Beaches
Mackenzie Beach near the airport is popular for its bars and restaurants, while beaches further along the coast are quieter.
When It's Too Hot or Raining
Midday in July can be hard going. Indoor options include museums in the old town, shopping centres, cinemas and indoor entertainment venues. At The Clubhouse CY in Aradippou you can play golf on a private simulator, or try darts and pool.
