Larnaka, Cyprus

Displayed:   times.

Larnaka, a town with an easy-going pace, has strong links to the past. The Mycenaean Greeks fortified the town with cyclopean walls in the 12th century while the Phoenicians founded a powerful kingdom here in the 9th century. The delightful Palm Trees Promenade, its fort, and its old quarters give Larnaka its unique character. Larnaka has something special to offer the visitor, including Choirokoitia, the oldest Neolithic settlement on the island, Stavrovouni Monastery and the famous Church of Angeloktisti.
