Larnaca Holidays

From the white sands of Protaras’ Fig Tree Bay to the lively shores of Nissi Beach, holidays to Larnaca have swoon-worthy sands for everyone. One of Larnaca's most popular spots, Finikoudes Beach, is the perfect place to start your holiday. This Blue Flag beach is known for its golden sands and crystal-clear waters. Lined with palm trees and a promenade dotted with cafes, restaurants, and shops, it offers a picturesque setting for sunbathing, swimming, or simply relaxing with a good book. For diving enthusiasts, the city is home to one of the world's top wreck dives, the Zenobia. From diving, windsurfing and kite surfing to jet skiing and paddleboarding, the warm Mediterranean waters are perfect for all kinds of aquatic fun. But if you want some time away from the coast, why not make a splash with the little ones on rip-roaring slides at WaterWorld, Europe's biggest Greek-themed waterpark?  

Larnaca is steeped in history, and there are plenty of historical sites to explore. Start with the Church of Saint Lazarus, a stunning 9th-century church named after Lazarus of Bethany, who, according to legend, lived in Larnaca after being resurrected by Jesus. The church is an architectural marvel and a place of deep spiritual significance. Next, visit the Larnaca Salt Lake, especially if you're there in winter or early spring. The lake is home to thousands of flamingos that migrate to the area, creating a breathtaking sight. Located at the end of the Finikoudes promenade, the Larnaca Fort is a fascinating historical site. Built in the 14th century, it has served various purposes over the centuries. Today, it houses the Medieval Museum, where you can learn about the region's history and admire a collection of artefacts from different periods. 

Whether you prefer a laid-back beach bar or a lively dance club, Larnaca's nightlife caters to all tastes. With top DJs from around the world flocking to the island’s world-class nightclubs and events every summer, there’s a reason partygoers love holidays in Cyprus. Renowned for its feel-good party atmosphere, the resort of Ayia Napa is Cyprus’ party capital. And its epicentre hits right in Napa Square. Where streets light up with neon beams, venues sparkle with glittering disco balls and cocktails are served in fish bowls, if you want to dip your toes in the party atmosphere, make sure to visit Ayia Napa for a night of fun in the sun.  

No trip to Larnaca is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. Head to one of the many traditional tavernas and savour a mezze, a delightful assortment of small dishes that showcase the flavours of Cyprus. Try dishes like halloumi cheese, kleftiko (slow-cooked lamb), and fresh seafood. Don't forget to pair your meal with a glass of local wine or a refreshing Cypriot beer.
