Overview

The coastal city of Larnaka is one of the world’s 20 most ancient continuously inhabited areas.
It is the gateway to Cyprus and a blend of old and new. From its traditional architecture, authentic taverns and local handicrafts to its cultural sites and religious monuments, old Larnaka is an evocative glimpse into a Cyprus past. New and modern Larnaka harmoniously intertwines with these elements of ancient Kition, and offers the cosmopolitan visitor beautiful sandy beaches, a bustling promenade, shopping, advanced infrastructure, and every conceivable amenity. With almost guaranteed sunshine every day, Larnaka is an exciting all-year-round destination that offers cultural events, numerous attractions, activities, and leisure options all of which are very close by.

Larnaka is a place where “They Always Come Back”. We are not only referring to Larnaka’s winter guests, the flamingos, which are visiting the area’s lakes in flocks, but also the visitors of Larnaka who keep returning year after year.
The region has the highest percentage of repeat visitors amongst the seaside areas of the island at 60% - a testament to its broad appeal, which embraces a number of unique features, including many traditional Cypriot experiences.
