Things To Do
Have a Beach Day

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. Feeling adventurous? Head over to Kastella Beach, a hidden gem where thrill-seekers can ride the waves on surfboards. And when hunger strikes, grab a beachfront snack that's more satisfying than a belly flop, indulging in mouthwatering treats while soaking up the beachy vibes.

A Romantic Rendezvous !

Prepare for a sunset extravaganza at the legendary Aphrodite's Rock, where the sun takes its final bow in the most dramatic fashion! As the fiery ball sinks into the horizon, it paints the sky with a kaleidoscope of colours that would make for a perferct Instagram post. Feel the magic in the air as the waves crash against the ancient rock, creating a symphony of soothing sounds. And if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Aphrodite herself, posing for selfies and giving love advice to star-struck seagulls. It's a sunset show fit for the gods and goddesses, leaving you with memories that glow brighter than Aphrodite's smile!

Adventurous Appetite Unlocked !

A trip to Cyprus isn't complete without sampling the local specialty, pitta of mixed souvlakia, which typically consists of grilled meat skewers, sheftalia sausages and salad. While there are a few bars in Laiki Geitonia, the mayiria in the Old Town will give you a true taste of the community. You can't get any closer to eating in a local Cypriot home than at one of these restaurants, which serve traditional dishes prepared in the same way every day. Other palatable options include Siantris and Mathaios in Old Nicosia, as well as Stoa tou Dimitri on the outskirts of the city.

Splash-Tastic Splash !

Dive into a world of watery wonders at Water World Water Park in Larnaca, where laughter and splashes are the soundtrack of the day! Brace yourself for thrilling slides that send you swirling and twirling like a human tornado, making you feel like the coolest superhero in town. Float lazily along the lazy river, pretending you're a laid-back pirate on a treasure-hunting expedition. And for the little adventurers, the kids' zone is a wonderland of fountains, sprinklers and mini slides that turn them into giggling water sprites.

Unlock The Mountain Magic

Strap on your hiking boots and conquer nature's playground as you trek through the scenic trails of the Troodos Mountains, which are 1 hour and 30 minutes drive away from Larnaca that lead to hidden waterfalls and secret picnic spots. Channel your inner daredevil and go mountain biking, zipping down thrilling slopes with a windblown grin that rivals the local sheep. And when you need a break from all the action, cosy up in a traditional village taverna, indulging in hearty Cypriot delicacies while learning traditional dances that will have you spinning like a dervish.
