Laid back Larnaca

Discover Larnaca

Known for its pretty panoramas and abundance of winter-season flamingos, Larnaca is the laid-back older brother to Ayia Napa, just a short drive down the south coast. Settle yourself under a palm tree and enjoy paradise - the slow pace of life ensures that you can remain completely in charge of your itinerary, discovering the city whichever way best suits you.

A glimpse of island life

As expected from an area built upon crystal-clear waters and lush greenery, Larnaca has a keen focus on wildlife, of both the water and land-dwelling varieties. Enjoy a camel ride in the countryside of Mazatos village, or count the fish on a scuba diving expedition. If animals aren't your thing, never fear - the Choirokoitia Neolithic Settlement is one of the best-preserved prehistoric areas in the eastern Mediterranean, a much-esteemed UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although most of the artefacts have been removed and are now displayed at the Cyprus Museum in Nicosia, it's still an impressive site to behold.
