About Larnaca

Larnaca, Cyprus’s third-largest city, blends sun-soaked beaches, a bustling promenade, and centuries of history, creating an ideal base for any stay. Visitors can choose from sleek luxury resorts, contemporary design hotels, or affordable family-friendly options. The city centre offers a vibrant mix of cafes, culture, and nightlife, while beachfront districts provide sea views and a more laid-back pace. With its diverse hotel scene, Larnaca makes it easy to match comfort and style with the experience you want.

This is a place where you can happily spend your days between the beach and the city. Its coastline is gorgeous, with golden sand, clear waters, and plenty to do — from swimming and windsurfing to simply soaking up the sun. McKenzie Beach is the spot for a laid-back day, while the Finikoudes Promenade is perfect for a sunset stroll or a drink with a view. And for something unforgettable, divers shouldn’t miss the Zenobia shipwreck, one of the world’s top dive sites. Beyond the shore, Larnaca is steeped in history and natural beauty. You can wander through ancient sites like Choirokoitia, visit the shimmering Salt Lake where flamingos gather in winter, or admire the town’s landmarks, from the medieval Larnaca Castle to the atmospheric Church of St. Lazarus. If you’re up for a little adventure, a day trip to Paphos Archaeological Park reveals extraordinary ruins and the Tombs of the Kings.
