Larnaca

What's the appeal?

Larnaca is thought to be the oldest city in Cyprus, with evidence of habitation up to 6000 years ago. It's on the south coast of Cyprus and is the third largest city in the country with Cyprus' primary international airport. Larnaca is known for its port area and palm-lined sea front. Mackenzie beach is the jewel of the Larnaca coast. With golden sand and crystal blue seas, the shore deepens gradually making it ideal for families with young children.
