Larnaca is one of the major seaside resorts in
Cyprus.
There are numerous beaches in and around Larnaca which extend
for approx 25 km (16 mi). The main Phinikoudes and McKenzie beaches
both have been awarded Blue Flags for environmental cleanliness.
The archaeological sites and its six museums are in the centre of the
town. Summer sports and sea activities are readily available. The shops
are well stocked and medical care is good. Since 2001 there is one main
six-screen cinema on the edge of the town. There is a wide variety of restaurants, tavernas, cafeterias and bars
catering for varied tastes between 'traditional Irish pub' through
international chains like McDonalds to local Cypriot fare. The Cyprus
'meze' is the food specialty of the town. Cultural life is rich and
many events are organized by the town's municipality almost daily...
