Larnaca, Coastal Mediterranean city in Cyprus

Larnaca stretches along the southeastern coast of Cyprus, with a promenade of palm trees extending beside the turquoise Mediterranean waters.

The settlement began as the city-kingdom of Kition in the 13th century BC, later developing into a center of Phoenician culture around 1000 BC.

The Church of Saint Lazarus stands as a primary religious monument, built in the 9th century to house the remains of the biblical figure.

Larnaca International Airport serves as the main gateway to Cyprus, located just 4 kilometers from the city center with regular connections to European destinations.

The Larnaca Salt Lake transforms seasonally from a dry basin in summer to a winter sanctuary for thousands of pink flamingos.
