The advantages of Larnaca as a tourist resort are numerous. The town is
large enough to give everything one may need but still is not overcrowded
especially at its beautiful beaches which extend for 25 km (16 mi). The
archaeological sites and its six museums are in the center of the city within
walking distance. Summer sports, sea activities and cruises are readily
available. The variety of restaurants, tavernas, cafeterias and bars is very
great. The Cyprus "meze" is the food specialty of the town. Night life is
interesting and security in the streets unsurpassed. Cultural life is rich and
many events are organized by the town's Municipality almost daily.
Because of the mild climate in the winter and the genuine hospitality of the
local people, Larnaca enjoys tourism at very high occupancy rates all the
year round. Larnaca being in the center of the country is the ideal base for
exploring the rest of Cyprus. Its international airport lies a few kilometers
from the center of the town and still the town is completely outside the
cone of landing and departing aircraft. |
