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's 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.

Larnaca is where East meets West, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities of the world and a fascinating blend of the many civilizations that shaped its history. This quiet seafront city, situated on the southeastern coast of Cyprus, near the island’s main airport, is a perfect starting point from which to explore Cyprus and its endless possibilities. Villages offering agrotourism, beautiful beaches, sports and recreation options, cultural events, religious tourism and authentic Cyprus taverns are just some of the choices in and around town. Welcome to Larnaca, the gateway to Cyprus. See the Old Town and enjoy the sun and sea at the seafront. Here, there are many clubs, lounges and bars. The ruins of Kition, founded by Noah’s grandchild Kittim, and the 17th-century fort are certainly worth seeing. After Mecca and Medina, the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque, built in honour of the prophet Mohammed’s relative is one of the Muslims’ most important destinations for pilgrimages. A most-fascinating site is Choirokoitia, a settlement from the earliest period of the Stone Age.

Just off Tomb of the Kings Road in Pafos lies an extensive necropolis dating to 300 BC — the final resting place for Pafos’s elite. Officials and aristocrats were buried in rock-carved tombs alongside jewellery and personal artefacts, though most valuables had been looted centuries ago. What remains is a striking atmosphere of stillness and mystery. The site features 100 tombs hewn from solid rock, some with frescoed walls and towering Doric columns. For the best-preserved examples, head to the atrium area.
