About
Larnaca

“Phinikoudes”
means small palm
trees that were planted in 1922.

The beach has fine grey sand and is some 500 metres long. The width varies from 30 metres to 100 metres. The area is popular for its cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels.

There are also a large number of mini markets close to the beach. The commercial and shopping centre of the town is just behind the promenade. The main road, Athenon Avenue, is planted with palm trees, green areas and colourful flowers that add to the magnificent scenery.

The beach has several services and facilities such as toilets, showers, changing rooms, access for the disabled, sun beds and umbrellas and water sports. Lifeguards are on duty with lifesaving equipment during the bathing season.

There is easy and safe access to the beach by bus and car or on foot. Many car
parks are found near the beach. The sea is clean and the water quality in line with standards set by the Europea Union’s Bathing Water Directive. The sea is usually calm and the waves mild. The area is the venue for the two-week Larnaka (Larnaca) Kataklysmos Fair, usually in June.

The three imposing domes of this
Orthodox Basilica Church and the
original bell tower were destroyed, probably in the first years of Ottoman rule when the church was turned into
a mosque. The brilliant byzantine
artistry of the icons and the unique baroque woodcarving of the gold
covered iconostasis were completed
in 1782 and have survived until today.

Agios Lazaros
Church

Situated in the centre of Larnaka (Larnaca), the magnificent early 10th century stone church of Agios Lazaros is one of the most important surviving Byzantine monuments of Cyprus. It was built by Byzantine Emperor Leo VI in exchange for the transfer of the Saint’s relic to Constantinople.

The church lies over the tomb of Agios Lazaros, the resurrected friend of Jesus Christ who came to ancient Kition in 33 AD and became its first Bishop and Patron Saint. The tomb, along with other marble sarcophagi and box - shaped tombs brought to light during excavations, can be seen inside the church crypt.

Zenobia

MS Zenobia was a Swedish built Challenger-class RO-RO ferry launched in 1979 that capsized and sank close to Larnaca, Cyprus, in June 1980 on her maiden voyage.She now rests on her port side at approximately 42 metres (138 ft) of water and was named as one of The Times top ten wreck diving sites in the world in 2003.

"She now rests on her port side at approximately 42 metres"
