And at night you can have a chinwag over a meze meal or dance your socks off at a buzzing nightspot.
For those who like a spot of sightseeing, there's historic Larnaca, home to the 9th century Agio Lazarus Church - where St Lazaros is buried - a superb Archaeological Museum, the 13th century temples at Kition, and more. Add a mouth-watering menu of Greek cuisine and you've got the essence of holidays on Cyprus' east coast – fun, food and fascination.
Larnaca offers many visitors their first taste of Cyprus. One of the first sights is the beautiful salt lake, home in the cooler months to colonies of graceful flamingos and other migratory birds. Beside the lake, in a tranquil setting crowned by lush palms, is the Hala Sultan Tekesi, built to the memory of Prophet Mohammed's aunt. Further west at Kiti village is Panagia Angeloktisti Church with its famous mosaics.
