Discover one of Cyprus’ oldest cities on a private tour combining history, culture, nature and the Mediterranean Sea.
Explore Larnaca with your private guide and experience the city’s fascinating past, from its historic Old Town and impressive religious landmarks to the famous Salt Lake. Then, weather permitting, see Larnaca from a completely different perspective on a glass-bottom boat trip to the legendary Zenobia shipwreck.
Begin your tour in the heart of the city and stroll along the palm-lined Finikoudes Promenade before entering the narrow streets of Larnaca Old Town.
Visit the Larnaca Medieval Castle, standing directly beside the sea, and discover the nearby Djami Kebir Mosque, a historic building that reflects the many cultures and religions that have shaped Larnaca over the centuries.
Continue to the magnificent Church of Saint Lazarus, one of the city's most important landmarks. According to Christian tradition, Lazarus came to Cyprus after his resurrection and later became Bishop of Kition, ancient Larnaca.
Leaving the historic center behind, travel to the beautiful Larnaca Salt Lake. During the cooler months, migrating birds gather here and, when nature cooperates, you may even see Larnaca’s famous flamingos.
On the shore of the lake, visit Hala Sultan Tekke, surrounded by palm trees and set against one of Larnaca’s most peaceful landscapes.
Then it is time to experience the Mediterranean.
Weather and sea conditions permitting, board a glass-bottom boat and cruise towards the Zenobia shipwreck, the famous Swedish ferry that sank off Larnaca in 1980. Enjoy the sea breeze, views of the coastline and the chance to see this legendary wreck beneath the clear Mediterranean water.
If weather conditions prevent the boat trip, the tour continues instead to an idyllic local fishing harbor, where colorful fishing boats offer a glimpse of a quieter and more traditional side of Larnaca.
With your private guide and a relaxed pace, you have time to enjoy the places you visit rather than simply rushing from one attraction to another.
Experience the history, atmosphere and beauty of Larnaca – from the ancient streets of the Old Town to the blue waters of the Mediterranean.
