Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Larnaca?

Church of Saint Lazarus : Step inside a 9th century stone basilica to see a gilded iconostasis, carved woodwork, and the crypt long linked to Lazarus. Listen for bells as incense drifts into the square. Larnaca Salt Lake & Hala Sultan Tekke : Wander the salt flats where flamingos feed in winter, then follow a palm-lined path to the Ottoman mosque on the shore. Take in mirrored water and quiet courtyards. Finikoudes Promenade : Stroll a palm-fringed seafront between Castle Beach and the marina. Pad into shallow water or grab warm loukoumades from a kiosk. Larnaca Medieval Castle : Explore ramparts and a small museum above the harbour. Look out across Finikoudes and the minarets of the old quarter from the battlements. Kamares Aqueduct : Stand beneath 18th century arches marching across the outskirts of town. Walk the path at sunset to watch the stones glow as planes descend nearby.

Question 2

Is Larnaca walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes in the centre. Finikoudes Promenade, the Church of Saint Lazarus, the Medieval Castle, and the pier sit close together. Hala Sultan Tekke and the Salt Lake are farther out.

Larnaca public buses are useful: route 425 links the airport, Mackenzie Beach, and Finikoudes. Intercity Buses run to Nicosia and Limassol from the beachfront stops.

For comfort in the heat or for coastal day trips, consider a private tour in Larnaca with private transportation.
