General presentation
Larnaca and its salt lake
This stone church is a landmark of the old town and its religious heritage. Also to be discovered: Salty lake of Larnaca and Hala Sultan Tekke.
Larnaca's discovery and salt lake revolve around St.Lazarus Church, Larnaca Salt Lake and Hala Sultan Tekke. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline, wetlands and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: high heat possible in summer; prefer cool hours for open-air sites. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
