From an architectural standpoint it’s a very pretty building and the interior is spectacular. I didn’t take any photos as I didn’t know if it was appropriate or not as it is an active church. But the paintings and reliefs inside are quite unique. And the building itself has a great history that’s interesting to learn about as someone who’s not tied to the Christian faith. The surrounding neighborhood is very quaint and has many good shops and restaurants/cafes.

This is amazing Church is a must visit if you are in the area. Beautiful structural architecture on the outside and inside to the amazing things you will see when you enter. If you can try and be covered up because there is a sign outside saying no shorts for men and women should ideally have their hair and shoulders covered but they do have robes for free on the outside to cover just in case you forget. Situated in the church are the most amazing icon pictures all over and the whole church is almost covered in gold. It is a particularly busy church with tourists in and out at all times. When you enter there is a lower two level where Lazarus bones used to be kept before they were moved, but his tomb still remains.

Hearing about this church and seeing some of the photos doesn’t really prepare you for the experience and history you are about to feel walking up to and inside this master of a monument. The outside is stunning, well preserved and sits on a lovely open space. When you enter it is very typical of a Greek church and lovely. Make sure you visit the tombs also under the church.

Travelled.fr9m.thw UK.for my friends wedding in this church. For me it will always be a place of great joy. It's a beautiful place to visit if you are in the area, just don't walk through the middle isle in yer t-shirts and flip flops when there are 250 of us in the .middle of a wedding ceremony lo

Beautiful church, very peaceful! We went there around at 1400 and it was closed. Advise to check the opening hours before you go. It opens in afternoon at 1530 but if you are there early, there are few souvenir shops that you can visit, enjoy lunch, take photographs, enough things to keep you occupied.

Visiting the Holy Church of Saint Lazarus was an unforgettable experience. I was deeply touched by the atmosphere and the spiritual energy of this sacred place. Bowing before the relics of Saint Lazarus filled me with peace and gratitude.

The holy church of Saint Lazarus in Larnaca is an old, lovely and holy church. It is a small church but beautiful from outside and inside. You can get inside the tomb as well.

Good beach for kids, nice sand and shallow water. Toilet is free, but shower cost 50cents. Almost no disturbance from people trying to sell you something.

Very good - this is a really safe beach for kids, with nice sand and fairly shallow water. The toilet is free (hurray) but the shower cost is about 50c. It can get quite crowded but the there is little hassle from people trying to sell you something. It can get really hot - so take or hire shade.

It's a wonderful beach. The location is perfect. There are restaurants, places to stay, and an amusement park nearby. It's a great beach for a family vacation.

No sand, only soil. Very dirty beach, not suitable for swimming or relaxing. Sunbeds are broken and in some places there are no umbrellas.

First beach in the closet proximity of Larnaca city center. Soft sand, clear water, and lot of restaurants with all the facilities. Public transport and intercity buses having stop here.

Central tourist area with many restaurants, big sandy beach and a nice promenade. Visit in the evening too.

Very dirty beach. People just leaving cigarettes on the sand. I've been here 6 years ago, it's nothing to compare. Please prohibit smoking on the beach and clean it. Uncomfortable sitting here.

Went in April, no Flamingo. Learned from the local that they only come to salt lake between Nov and Mar. If you go in other months, the lake view is still enjoyable, just no need to feel disappointed or not seeing any bird.

Beautiful lake, flamingos can be seen only in the cold season. Visited in November and the water looked like a mirror, with lots of flamingos. Definitely worth visiting. Do not walk off the path, it'll startle the birds. There are 2 observation decks at the lake. You can get there with public transport.

It's very nice to visit although flamingos weren't there🥹

Larnaca Salt Lake fills with water during the winter and dries up in the summer to reveal a salt crust. This natural cycle attracts large flocks of migratory birds. Thousands of flamingos arrive from November to feed on the shrimp that thrive in the salt water.

Pink flamingos 🦩 visit the lake in winter. When I visited in mid November there were 2 big groups. Should bring a good camera to get a good picture. However you can walk around and enjoy the views. Various parking around the lake.

I visited it in November, and there were no birds, no water. Just a mud and salt. Large area covered by mud and salt. The guide said in winter there will be a lot of flamingo and water. It is located near Hala Sultan mosque.

Nice place for a walk alongside the salt lake, where you can watch the flamingos and other water birds. Great view of the Hala Sultan Tekkesi - this place has a ridiculous number of cute cats, it must be their sanctuary. There is several benches throughout the path, ideal to contemplate those magnificent birds.

Amazing beach with a unique vibe! The view of planes approaching for landing right above the water is such a cool and unexpected experience. Soft sand, clear water, and comfortable loungers with umbrellas make it a great place to relax. Perfect spot for aviation enthusiasts or anyone looking for something a bit different from the usual beach scene. Clean, sunny, and super photogenic — highly recommend spending a day here! 🌊🏖️☀️

Nice clean beach with free changing and toilet facilities. Showers have a small fee. Sunbeds and umbrella is available for rent at 2,5€ per piece. Very great price and the equipment is in good quality. Fun place to watch the airplanes come in to land at the nearby airport.

Of the beaches we visited in Larnaca, this was by far our favorite! The crowd was a bit more relaxed and the planes landing at the airport were a fun bonus.

Clean beach groomed every day and here is the key Summary - Clear water, soft sand, no pebbles, umbrellas and restaurants - Since Airport is nearby, you will see planes landing from very low height - Many water sports activities - Access to washrooms, showers and drinking water but these are paid public services Recommended for a perfect day on a beach day out.

If you want to spot planes while enjoying the beach , this is the place. With plenty of good quality bars, recommend a visit

Very nice beach to spend time until your flight approaches. Enough parking spaces and beach bars.

Very nice public beach.. Sandy beach.. Good to go with children.. Has many restaurants and beach bars..

Very nice mosque, I think it has been forgotten by the state, isn’t as clean and good looking as it was once upon a time. I hope it changes, but from a historic perspective it was very nice to see that it is still an active worship place. I feel like they should clean the name board of the mosque, it was full of dust…

It's nothing you haven't seen before, but it's worth the time, we couldn't go in due to our belief, but the gardens were really nice and well-maintained. I would also recommend walking along the salt lake path in summer and in winter...overall, not a bad experience, but nothing crazy.

Placed by salt lake, good time to sit on the bench and relax for the while. If flamingo 🦩 season -> extra special. If want to visit mosque than good dress is mandatory 😉

It is slightly off the beaten track but is still worth the effort to visit as it is a very nice mosque indeed. Perhaps it isn't as clean as it may have been in the past but still it was OK. Our only mistake was that my wife was not dressed properly and was refused entry. and so many stray cats around .... not pleasant.

Beautiful setting by the edge of the Salt Lake. Peaceful and scenic place, especially around sunset. Remember: ladies must wear full-length pants covered clothing to enter — no entry otherwise.

The Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, which is very beautiful, is located near the salt lake. It is essential to wear an appropriate long dress; otherwise, entry will not be permitted.

This mosque has been described as the third holiest place for Muslims in the world (some say the fourth, after Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem). During the Ottoman Empire, Ottoman-flagged ships would hang their flags at half mast when off the shores of Larnaca, and salute Hala Sultan with cannon shots. The mosque was built over the grave of Umm Haram, who was believed to be the sister of the Prophet Mohammed’s foster mother.

A not very big marina, with nothing out of the ordinary. Several dozen sailboats and other types of boats and a promenade where people can walk. There are no benches to sit on. Quite beautiful but common.

A nice marina, with a small pier that enables you to look at the boats. Be aware that some of the planks are old, stick up, and are unsteady. You can not get much other access to the marina to see the boats any closer on foot. You can, however, get boat rides from here, and booking is at the start of the pier. The marina itself is clean and well kept. Parking can be found close by or a 10 minute walk from 2 car parks next to the bus station. Both are free. Toilets nearby on the beach. Worth a quick look if you're in the area.

Beautiful little marina, lots of wildlife to see in the water. Boat owners friendly too. Would recommend having a wander here if staying nearby. Good boat trips to look at going on too. I went on semi-submarine, see my review for that :)

It's so beautiful and the view from up the infinity pool is breathtaking. Visited the Marina Spa and after had a drink by the pool. It was so relaxing.

I visited Larnaca in August 2024, and the weather was quite hot. I stayed about 15 km away from the town at the Murcure Larnaca Resort. While looking for a place to have dinner in the city, I discovered this area. I walked around for over an hour in the evening, and it wasn’t crowded, which made it very pleasant. The area is quite large, with boats, a beach, restaurants, and more. It’s worth exploring, but I recommend visiting Nissi Beach, which is too crowded but one of the most beautiful beaches in the World.

We had an exceptional experience at Larnaca Marina. The marina is beautifully organized, well-run, and affordably priced. From the moment we arrived from the Suez Canal, the team provided a warm and welcoming reception. Giannis, the Marina Manager, was instrumental in ensuring a smooth experience, sending us all the necessary information via email. When we arrived, we contacted Stellios on the radio, and his instructions were clear and easy to follow. He and Athos met us at the fuel dock with smiles, took our lines, and escorted us to the customs and port police offices. The check-in process was super easy and efficient, thanks to Elena's kindness at the office reception. The team went above and beyond to assist us, even helping with our first stern tie. Athos took our lines, and Stellios was ready in the dinghy to lend a hand if needed. Given the marina's comfort and amenities, we decided to haul our boat out for hull maintenance. The lift process was seamless, with Georgios handling the travel lift and Mohammed ensuring everything was in place. What truly made our experience stand out was working with "Dino" and his colleague Kamil. Dino's business offers a wide range of services for boat exteriors, and his work is stellar. Both Dino and Kamil take immense pride in their work, and it shows. They became like friends and coaches to us, offering valuable advice and support throughout our stay. We were sad to leave Larnaca Marina but happy to set sail with our boat looking better than ever. The marina's daily rates are very affordable compared to other European ports, making it an excellent choice for sailors. We highly recommend Larnaca Marina to anyone looking for a well-run and welcoming port.

Larnaca Port is the base and starting point for enjoying many excursions, exploration tours and diving in beautiful Cyprus. It is full of boats and yachts that can be rented, whether with family or friends. It is also surrounded by restaurants and cafes with outdoor areas overlooking the beach and the distant horizon.A delightful two-hour experience departing from Larnaca Marina. As we set sail, you'll enjoy the stunning views of Finikoudes Beach, which embodies the essence of the Mediterranean coast.

I was referred here by a professional diver friend of mine, and even though I was told it's the best in the area, I was still pleasantly surprised! I am a beginner and took the NAUI open water course - Andy is a really (really) experienced diver and a superb instructor. I was shown some really good sites; all 6 dives we did were gorgeous! Our communication both with him and Marina was efficient, and instructions were always tailored to my level and so I was constantly learning new things. I sure will be back for additional courses! Thank you!

We had lots of fun diving with I Dive Cyprus. Andy and Marina took us to most beautiful places in Protaras area and to MS Zenobia, the big and exiting wreck outside Larnaca. They had an impressive selection of wet suits, which was important as water temperature varied between 19-24 grade celcius. Dive gear was pretty new and functional. We highly recommend this dive shop to beginners and more experienced ones.

Amazing place and great experience through the Open water diving Course. Amazing Team of Andy and Marina who ensures your safety at all times and giving the best experience to learn diving. highly recommended to all Divers to try .

Thank you so much Andy for our amazing dive in Cyprus. We enjoyed the dived and conversation with Andy. We went to cyclops cave dive and cave dives ( i only made 4/5) My first time diving in the cave, so amazing feeling there.

Had a great few dives with Andy this year, Marina was lovely and both where very friendly and welcoming, I have dived 90% of the area so I was struggling with which one to do again. I dive cyprus introduced me to new dive sites that I hadn’t had a chance to do before so I was happy. Thanks guys, see you next year 🤿

Highly recommended, I did the NAUI open water diver course with my dad. The teaching was great, but what was more was the enjoyable experience that Andy created for us - we’re were shown some amazing sights but felt safe at all times. He also has a great eye for photography capturing the moments for me and my dad to enjoy and look back on.

Me and my partner booked in for 2 dives, Marina and Andy made things very easy to book, they made us feel welcome and created a great experience for us to our liking. Would highly recommend them and will most definitely will be back.

Amazing seeing this in the landscape. Can ze been from far. Its still in good condition. Its close to the main road. Good for a short break.

A great end point if you are walking along the salt flat trail. The 18th century aquaduct is in great condition and is another part of Cyprus' long history with water movement and storage. 10min is enough time for a casual observer to take in enough of the structure. The wetlands directly behind it are home to many birds and the calls make a nice backdrop.

Surrounded by the modern city, it seems surreal in a way. It's an impressive structure and it's in good condition. Parking is available nearby and there are also hiking trails.

Super cool piece of history. Looks a lot more grand in person. There's a small walkway that takes you through the base of the aqueduct though not fully constructed or maintained.

Not worth a detour, what you see when driving by is everything there is to see. Looks nice though.

We cycled along the salt lake… up to the aqueduct… wanted to sit nearby but no benches sadly.. Worth seeing if interested in history ….

The Kamares Aqueduct in Larnaca was built between 1747 and 1750 by the Ottoman Governor Bekir Pasha to provide the city with a reliable water supply. This impressive engineering feat, which cost approximately 50,000 qirsh, was funded by Pasha himself as a public project. It draws water from the Tremithos River and other springs, channeling it to the city through a 16 km long system that includes a 75-arch bridge, a part of which is still visible today.

Nice sandy beach, cheap sunbeds. Shallow waters 100-150 m into the waters.

Clean beach, the beach set (2 sunbeds and one umbrella) is only for 7,50€. You can pay both by cash or card. 🤍

nice beach, only issue is that people from the nearby complexes take their dogs there in the morning so they can shit and pee on the beach (though it's forbidden by law, local authorities don't care). So beware where you let your children play on the sand, dog parasites can blind young kids.

A nice, clean beach. Sunbeds & umbrellas are standard price. A little disappointed that we were unable to get mattresses for both beds, only 1! The very best part of this beach is the restaurant. A very unassuming style, basic chairs & tables, think white plastic garden furniture. Staff are friendly & helpful. An extensive menu with a mix of traditional Greek dishes & your usual burger & chips etc. But we come here for one dish, a simple tuna salad. It is probably the best tuna salad on the island, in fact I can honestly say it is one of the best I have ever had!!! It comes in, what we refer to as a bottomless bowl! The reason for this description is quiet simply, it seems to go on forever, which is a good thing as it is sooooo tasty. Don't say we didn't warn you! If you have this as a late lunch you will not be eating again for the rest of the day! They have an OK wine & beer selection. You are sure to have a lovely relaxing lunch overlooking the beach. Then back down to beach for a walk along the waters edge or slip back onto the sunbed, top up the suncream & have a little afternoon nap...ahhh 😊

Very clean, have bar and restaurant and u can rent shades and table

dirty beach. sand is like mud. the water is too shallow. the set is 7.5 euros, but it looks bad. showering is charged additionally. wifi only near the cafe. the coffee in the bar is good. the young guy who charges for the sunbeds is friendly

Lovely beach and the water is so warm. The beach is sandy but doesn't have the golden colour Cyprus is usually known for. There is a popular restaurant nearby where you can eat fresh fish. It's also not as busy as other beaches in the area. Plenty of parking too.

A small museum, not very spectacular. Many very old ceramic vessels, Roman glass, remains of statues. You only need about 30 minutes to visit it.

Tickets-1€ for student, 3€ for adult Small cost for a small museum. 6 rooms filled with some unique artefacts from previous periods, starting in the Bronze Age finishing with 13th Christian Age

The Roman glass has to seen to be believed . So delicate, but survived in Tombs . The Pomos idols and the flat idols are amazing . The pots and other artifacts are very special. Well worth a visit . Entry €3

Located a 3 minute walk off the main square. Cost :3 euros and they take credit cards. It’s a single floor of 5 rooms and a corridor. Different historic periods of vases and pots, figurines and statues/ heads and artefacts. Description could be made easier with number going in a systematic order as well as the description. Descriptions are put into one page of say 1-5 and objects maybe on two different levels in two different panels of display making it difficult for the visitor to follow a systematic viewing of the displays. Also description not at eye level but a lot of bending down is required for reading inscriptions, the font could also be bigger.

A small private museum with exhibits from Stone Age that Pieridis family acquired through the generations which they showcase for the public to enjoy. The museum is housed in a private colonial style building which it was a family house before built in 1825 and which it has been occupied the site for more than four generations. Each room is sectioned on different afterfacts from bronze, clay, glass and more. My favourite section it was the different coloured and shapes of blown glass. You can spend easily one to two hours there and is accessible for wheelchair users. It has a small gift shop at the back and toilets in the back yard. Entrance is €3.00 and is well worth a visit there.

Highly recommend! Amazing place, so many interesting objects to see. A very friendly member of staff showed me around and answered my questions. Printed info in English is available at the entrance. Thanks!

Great building with loads of historical items including maps, statues, lamps and coins all displayed on a professional way. An interesting history of ancient Cyprus. Well worth visiting.

A great independent pottery shop, with excellent service. The pottery shop is in the old Turkish quarter of Larnaca and has the pottery making business next to it. The owner was very kind and showed us his workshop with the kilns and explained to us how it works.

We liked this experience very much. First time we made 2 glasses and 1 plate. Then we came to paint them and next time we will come to take them home. The attitude is very nice. We were taught how to make pots, everything was explained in details. Everyone will be able to make their own pot without any problems. If you fly home back and need to take the pots with you - you can pay extra and they will prepare your pots faster. I highly recommend it. It is totally worth it. Thanks a lot to the owners.

Visited the pottery on the Larnaca tourist information free tour, Michael gave an interesting demonstration on how to create a Pythagorean cup - a practical joke device in a form of a drinking cup, credited to Pythagoras of Samo. The shop itself has some lovely items.

A fantastic family experience! We had a wonderful time at the ceramic shop and workshop. Our kids enjoyed creating their own pieces during a hands-on session led by Michael, who was incredibly kind and patient. A unique and memorable activity for the whole family — highly recommended!

This activity may be a little off the normal activity branch but really made a mark on our group. The owner is a very interesting person and with his experience he can help a novice like we were create something useful and full of memories. A very cost efficient and new experience bring day!

Very good shop and super cozy master classes! Highly recommended!

Beautiful little shop with an amazing workshop and a beautiful selection of handmade ceramics. Friendly service. Perfect for souvenirs, presents and everyday items.

When you visit this archaeological site your first impressions might be that there isn’t really anything to see. But when you start reading the story of what used to be here and what the site represents, paired with a visit to the museum not far away you will get an understanding of the life and culture of the people who used to live here. A tip is to bring an umbrella if it’s hot, there isn’t any shade.

A place where history comes alive through the ruins of one of Cyprus’ oldest cities. I have attached a picture taken with the drone from above below.

This is a great site and it’s currently being renovated. It really takes you through the history of the site of Kition. It was busy, but did not feel crowded. My only criticism is that the information is limited and there is no real route to walk. The language used on signage isn’t in basic English so for second language speakers (and it’s not great for kids to understand). It could be made more fun by having activities for children and providing for information. The staff are pleasant but don’t go out of their way to provide support or guidance.

Hard to not give a star rating for this place. It’s a great example of original and outstanding architecture. You can walk all around it and take it all in. Pretty cool to see and try and imagine how it was built all those years ago.

Ticket per adult 2 euros, Childers under 12 are free .,no guider , you guide yourself 🤨… no canteen bring your water with you … 2 hour is enough for whole tour and reading notes … rest rooms are available… the place is clean .

There's not much to see, but still, you do learn a lot about the ancient history of Larnaca. I visited the site after my visit to the Provincial Archaeological Museum of Larnaca and saw a lot of the finds from the area. The entrance fee of 2.50 euros is not bad to get an idea where they have found most of relics in the museum.Also the Department of Antiquities can issue special entry cards for 1, 3 or 7 days at a reduced price and also a pensioners special entry card. Entry it was 2.50 euros. For more information, you can visit www.mcw.gov.cy/da

This important site cannot be more than it is, which is incredibly old and hence quite hard to make sense of, despite the text guides dotted around the place. I had a thoroughly pleasant time wandering across the paths and noting both ruins and pomegranate trees. Half an hour would be plenty of time to allow for this visit.

Incredibly inaccessible. Lake is non-existent, no birds or anything lively at all. Great place if you want to look absolute desolation

Small but lovely. I went there at sunset and the sky after rain was fantastic! There was stairs to go up and see the lakes and birds. There were some goose at that time some other birds I didnt recognize from afar. I suggset you take binoculars with you as you can not get close to the fenced lake.

We were lucky enough to see the flamingo from a view platform. Special respect for the cypriots for fencing of the lake, so the birds are not disturped by people. 🙂

A great place to watch flamingos from October to May.

Both hides are a bit too far away from the flamingoes to get decent pictures ☹️. Also, the hide near the filling station means that you're shooting into the sun sand only get silhouettes in your pictures ☹️ Cyprus seems to do nature reserves almost as badly as they do historic sites to be honest.

Great for birdwatching, especially flamingoes. Just note they are migratory birds, can be seen starting from October

That's was existing experience.I've seen wild flamingo for the first time of my life!

The beach in Larnaca is a great spot, especially in March. While the water was quite cold, I enjoyed dipping my feet in. The beach is spacious and not too crowded, which is perfect for families with children since the water is shallow. Overall, it’s a lovely, relaxing place with a welcoming atmosphere.

Sandy we go in to sea it's waist hight 100m apx Some public toilets changing rooms Sunbeds to hire

The sand was fine, but hard, perhaps from the water. The water didn’t have the same color as in Nissi and Protaras, for example, but it was warm. A sunbed and umbrella cost 7.5 euros, but for some reason nobody came for us to pay. There’s also a lifeguard. There were waves in the water, which was extremely clean. The sun set very early around 5:30 PM, but maybe because it gets dark much earlier here. There’s nowhere around to get food if you get hungry, or water - you have to go out to the waterfront street itself.

Really liked the white sand. You can see the flights approaching Larnaca Airport.

Mcckenzie Beach in Cyprus offers a picturesque escape, with its soft golden sands and crystal-clear waters. Nestled along the southern coast, it boasts stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. The beach is well-maintained, with amenities like loungers and umbrellas available for rent, ensuring a comfortable day under the sun. Its calm waters make it ideal for swimming and snorkeling, while nearby cafes and restaurants provide delicious refreshments. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, Mcckenzie Beach promises a memorable seaside experience.

Wide, not crowded and relaxing beach with a view of landing planes. There are many kiosks and bars around. Parking is paid - 2.5 euro as for September 2024, located 5 minutes of a slow walk from the sun beds.

The beach is located in a beautiful area, offering picturesque views. However, it's important to note that both the beach and the sea were somewhat less clean than expected, which slightly diminishes the overall appeal of this otherwise lovely spot.

The bar is okey, comfortable and clean place to stay

There is free parking and free internet. There is also a changing cabin and a restroom. The staff is friendly and you can take children's toys to play in the water for free. You can rent a sunbed and an umbrella. Usually not crowded

Quite and nice beach with a dark grey sand. A lot of rocks in the entrance to the water. Quite shallow..good to come with kids. Sun beds are old, but ok. In the bar you can buy water, beers, some snacks

Easy going place run by a German fellow. He is very friendly and will serve you well. Prices are adequate. You can sit under many umbrellas that save you from the cruel Cyprus sun. :). You can use free WiFi here and rent a water sport equipment

Beautiful and quiet beach with a shower. Very friendly bar owner and daughter(I guess)! This picture was taken on the 3rd of august. Bring some food, drinks are here.

Love this beach as its sooo relaxing and the water much cleaner than finikothes. The cafe also get traditional Cypriot sandwiches delivered to you to your sunbeds.

Nice place, good beer and not overcrowded like other beaches
