The Larnaca District
The town of Larnaca, the third largest on Cyprus, is often referred to as 'the gateway to the island'. Most travellers first see Cyprus at Larnaca, which is the second port and the site of an international airport. No welcome could be sunnier: at Larnaca, deep blue seas meet bright sandy beaches under incomparably brilliant skies.
Here yachts and sailing vessels from around the globe gather, and along the harbour perimeter is a palm-lined promenade. Inviting cafés offer shady resting spots and sweeping ocean views. The promenade winds its way to the Larnaka Medieval Museum, housed in a 17th-century fort.
Make your way north from the fort, toward the centre of the city, and you will come to one of Larnaca’s (and the island’s) most cherished sites — the church of St. Lazarus. After his resurrection from the dead by Jesus, Lazarus elected to live out his “second” life as Bishop of Cyprus. He is reputedly buried in a crypt under the main altar.
Originally called Kition in the days of the Old Testament, Larnaca reached a heyday as a commercial centre in the 1700’s, when the consulates were established here
One of the oldest, continually-inhabited cities in the world, Larnaca abounds with sights.
