Larnaka Highlights

Larnaka’s history unfolds through its diverse landmarks, from the 9th-century Byzantine Church of Saint Lazarus to the Ottoman-era Kamares Aqueduct. The waterfront is anchored by the medieval Larnaca Castle, which has served as a fort, garrison, and prison. Near the salt lake, the Hala Sultan Tekke stands as a significant Islamic site, while the Pierides Museum preserves archaeological artifacts spanning millennia. The city’s character is further defined by the architectural mix of Faneromeni Church and the central Phinikoudes promenade.
