Seaside, sunshine and substance
A seaside city with substantial soul, Larnaca’s got form when it comes to pleasing a diverse crowd. This sunny spot in Cyprus’ south is a bona fide beach destination, offering all the joys of long days spent on the sand and cavorting about in the warm waves of the Mediterranean. There's even a ship wreck to dive down to and no shortage of buzzing beach bars.
But there’s far more to savour than sun, sand and sea. Larnaca is the island’s oldest city, with civic life already in full swing by the 13th century BC. That’s some 15,000 years’ worth of history which you can begin to unpick at countless captivating sites. From biblical Lazarus’s alleged burial place to the medieval Larnaca Fort, this city can certainly add culture to its portside portfolio.
