Cyprus - Larnaca

Larnaca
Larnaca seafront is vaguely reminiscent of the Continental promenade, with
its line of mature palms and its relaxed air of sleepy charm. Cafes and tavernas
line the area near the sea, making this a popular spot with visitors and
Cypriots alike during the summer. Nearby is the Marina, frequented by
yachtsmen from all over the world. At the western end of the promenade is
the town's l7th century fort, which now houses the Larnaca Mediaeval Museum.
As the home of the island's main international airport,
Larnaca offers many visitors their first taste of Cyprus.
One of the first sights is the beautiful salt lake, home
in the cooler months to colonies of graceful flamingos
and other migratory birds.
Much smaller than Nicosia or Limassol, Larnaca has
a population of 62.000 and has managed to retain a relaxed,
leisurely atmosphere. Its main shopping area is Zenon
Kitieos Street, a typically busy road of small shops,
with a wonderfully colorful fruit and vegetable market
at the far end.
