Kastella, Sandy beach in Larnaka, Cyprus.
Description
Kastella is a sandy beach of about 600 meters in Larnaka with brown and beige-colored sand along the Mediterranean Sea, positioned next to a fishing shelter. The beach offers showers, changing facilities, sunbeds, umbrellas, a bar, and lifeguard supervision during the warmer months.
History
The beach sits in a region with ancient fishing roots that trace back to Phoenician merchants who established settlements here. This long maritime history has shaped Larnaka's coastal character and continues to influence the area today.
Culture
Fishermen work daily along this shore and sell their catch to nearby taverns, keeping a long tradition of sea-based cooking alive. You can see this connection between the water and local food culture in action when you visit.
Practical
The beach is easily reached from the road with a parking area right next to it. A cycling path runs along the shore, and facilities like showers are readily available during the warmer season when lifeguards are on duty.
Did you know?
The shore combines multiple uses in one location, with a cycling path, parking, and an active fishing shelter right nearby. This blend of leisure and working maritime life gives the place a genuine character that many coastal spots lack.
