Hold on to your beach hats, - As you head to Larnaca! This coastal city is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Cyprus. From sandy stretches to rocky coves, there's a beach for every kind of beachgoer. We recommend starting your sandy escapades at Finikoudes Beach, where the golden sand invites you to build sandcastles fit for kings and queens, while the gentle waves provide the perfect backdrop for epic splash battles.
