Larnaca
Palm-lined coast and easy island living
Larnaca is the easygoing coastal gateway — a palm-lined seafront promenade (Finikoudes), a Byzantine church, and a salt lake where flamingos winter, all minutes from the island's main airport. It's the soft landing of Cyprus: relaxed, affordable and walkable.
