Larnaca Holidays - Travel Guide

The town of Larnaca is in the southeast of the island of Cyprus.

Larnaca is well known to visitors of neighbouring resorts such as Ayia Napa as being the location of the international Airport but Larnaca holidays have plenty more to offer in their own right. Larnaca is one of the world's oldest consistently inhabited cities and some of the artefacts from ancient Larnaca, then known as Kition can be seen in the two main museums. Some of the original ruins are visible to the northwest of the town, including the remains of a temple dating back over 3000 years.

Larnaca is also known for having the second biggest port in Cyprus and a 400-berth marina that make Larnaca holidays popular with yacht owners. The pretty harbour also features a palm tree lined promenade and a number of good shops and cafés with picturesque sea views. There are miles and miles of fine sandy beaches near Larnaca offering ample opportunities for sunbathing and swimming. To liven up your Larnaca holidays you could try your hand at the huge array of water sports on offer including water skiing, windsurfing, parasailing, snorkeling and diving. Children and adults alike will enjoy the nearby water park. In the evening holidays in Larnaca offer plenty of restaurants, bars, discos and nightclubs and there are good connections to nearby resorts such as Ayia Napa.
