Discover Larnaca, the hidden gem of Cyprus
Larnaka, as the third largest city in Cyprus, has countless natural beauties and impressive historical and religious wealth that will travel you into your dream holidays. Walking under the palm trees overlooking the blue sea, among the picturesque alleys and the Turkish “mahalades”, along with the cosmopolitan promenade in Makenzy with its busy cafes and restaurants, enchant every visitor.
Walk in Finikoudes, enjoy the warm atmosphere and head to the Medieval Castle of Larnaka that will take you on a journey to another era of great historical importance. You must not omit a visit to the holy Byzantine church of saint Lazaros,
that dates back in the end of the 9th century, as well as lake Aliki, the paradise landscape of Larnaka. Prepare your camera because you have to capture the hungry visitors of Aliki, the pink flamingos that adore brine shrimps! Of course, next to the lake you will find the Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque, one of the most important places of Muslim pilgrimage.
Wander around the neighboring villages such as Lefkara and let them enchant you with their colorful architecture, the old mansions and the tradition that still lives on in the museums of embroidery and other handicrafts.
