Larnaca blends history, culture, nature, and seaside life into one unforgettable experience.

ProgrammeExcursion
Our trip will start with a visit to the Kition Archaeological site, which was discovered in the 1960s. The site offers a historical insight into the temple area of the ancient city-kingdom of Kition.
Next stop will be the church of Virgin Mary ‘Panayia Angeloktisti’, one of the finest examples of 6th century Byzantine art (built by angels in Greek). Another church to be visited will be the church of Saint Lazarus. At the next stop will visit the Larnaca District Archeological Museum. The museum collections mainly include findings from Neolithic Ages as well as from the ancient city- kingdom Kition which testify for the commercial and international relations between Cyprus and the regions of Eastern Mediterranean. The trip will continue to Phinikoudes (‘Palm Trees’) promenade. An array of elegant restaurant-bars and cafeterias with fine international cuisine lay along the palm line.
During our stroll towards the marina, we will pass by the Larnaca Municipal Centre at Europe Square and see the bust of Kimon. At the very end of the palm line, we will also be able to visit the Larnaca castle. And then rest for lunch at a traditional fish tavern situated at Phinikoudes waterfront, which serves fresh fish ‘meze’. The last stop before leaving Larnaca town centre will be Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque of Umm Haram. This is one of the most important moslem pilgrimages in the world, ranking immediately after the shrines of Mecca, Medina and al-Aqsa in Jerusalem. Just by the Tekke Mosque, we can view the Larnaca salt lake.
The lake is a natural sanctuary for all kinds of migrating birds, including the endangered pink flamingos during springtime.
