Larnaca is found within the bay of the same name on the east coast of the island of Cyprus. This important cruise ship destination is home to some unique cultural sights, wonderful beaches and excellent diving opportunities, making it an understandably popular hub. The centre of activity - particularly at sunset - is the Larnaca Promenade (Phinikoudes), which is also where you will find the greatest concentration of cafes and restaurants. The Church of St. Lazarus dates back to the 9th century and is a must for cultural enthusiasts, as is the Archaeological Museum of the Larnaka District, which boasts a small but impressive collection of artefacts. Finally, active travellers will relish exploring the wreck of the Zenobia, with many dive companies offering specialised tours of this fascinating site.
