| Larnaca Medieval Castle | €2.50 | 45 minutes | A seafront fort at the end of Finikoudes promenade, rebuilt by the Ottomans on earlier Lusignan/Genoese foundations, now housing a small medieval museum with artefacts from the Early Christian to Ottoman periods and rooftop sea views. |

| Kamares Aqueduct | Free | 15-20 minutes | A row of stone Ottoman-era arches built in 1746 by governor Bekir Pasha to carry water into Larnaca from a spring 10km away; illuminated at night and a popular photo stop at the edge of the Salt Lake trail. |

| Zenobia Wreck | Varies | Half-day (2-dive trip) | A 172m Swedish ferry that sank just outside Larnaca harbour in 1980 with its cargo of lorries still aboard, ranked among the world's top wreck-diving sites and dived from Larnaca by everyone from advanced open-water divers to technical wreck specialists. |
