Discover the breathtaking beauty of Larnaca Salt Lake, a complex network of four salt lakes located just west of Larnaca city. As the second largest salt lake in Cyprus, it spans a total area of 2.2 square kilometres and is considered an important wetland, holding the status of a Special Protected Area. During winter months, the lake fills with water, providing a temporary home for numerous migrating bird species, including thousands of vibrant pink flamingos. These elegant birds can be seen feeding on the brine shrimp Artemia Salina, a crucial element of the lake's food chain. As summer arrives, the water evaporates, leaving a crust of salt and a striking landscape. In the past, salt harvested from Larnaca Salt Lake was one of Cyprus' major exports. A 4 km-long nature trail winds through the area, offering an opportunity to explore the lake's surroundings and observe the diverse flora and fauna. Larnaca Salt Lake is not only a stunning natural attraction but also a site with a rich history dating back to the Late Bronze Age.

Once sleepy fishing villages, the fabulous beaches of fine white sand of Agia Napa and Protaras, and the coastal area of Paralimni with its hundreds of windmills, nowadays buzz with life. This area is known collectively as the Kokkinochoria, “red soil villages,” because of the rich red earth in which Cyprus’ famous potatoes are grown. Culture lovers can explore the medieval churches found in villages like Sotira or go around the folk art museums displaying rural artefacts in Deryneia and Avgorou. Children will love the Marine Life museum or the new Sea Museum, “Thalassa”, in Agia Napa, which has an amazing replica of a 4th-century trading ship which sunk off the coast of Kyrenia. Or you could stop at the tiny estuary known by the locals as Potamos and watch the fishing boats haul in their catch in their multi-coloured baskets. Spend the day sunbathing at the beach, swimming in warm turquoise waters or taking a short cruise along the coast. Some of the best snorkelling and diving spots are at Cape Greco, the national forest park, with its secluded coves and rocky outcrops, impressive cliff-top views and sea caves. In the evening, dine at one of the many restaurants, especially the local ones in Paralimni, or jive to the latest sounds at one of the numerous nightclubs.
