Larnaka
Disembarking from its airport’s centipede-like structure, you’re soon enfolded by Larnaca’s radiant mix of bygone landmarks and coastal freshness, including a Salt Lake that attracts flamingoes during winter months. The gleaming Mediterranean horizon smiles along the palm-lined Finikoudes promenade, with restaurants featuring delectable Cypriot cuisine, including the renowned Commandaria. Satiated, enjoy snapshots of past empires, from St. Lazarus’s Church and Ecclesiastical Museum to the Cyclopean ruins of former glory.
