Larnaka Tourism Board
this month recommends:
It’s Beach Party Time!
No summer could be complete without some great beach parties,
and as a happening coastal town, Larnaka certainly delivers on this
summer promise!
The different beaches of the region will all be the scene of independent beach parties throughout the summer, including
Finikoudes Beach, CTO Beach in Pyla, Lenios Beach in Voroklini
as well as the island’s current top hot-spot McKenzie. Beach parties complete with the addition of bars and DJs to provide the
beats, so keep a look out for details on these from the various
organisers.
Cyprus’ beaches – including Larnaka’s – have a 100% rating for
cleanliness, so have fun, but at the same time respect the environment so that we may continue to keep our beaches the cleanest
in Europe.

FROM THE EDITOR
The motto of Larnaka Tourism
Board “countless choices – one
destination”, is not rhetoric but a
vivid and lively presence.
Visiting Larnaka you can get the
feeling of a Mediterranean cosmopolitan beach resort and at the same time you experience the educational “tour” of the historic experience
of Ancient Kition. Larnaka compares the modern present with the historic past.
During your presence in Larnaka don’t miss the visit to
the uphill beautiful villages of the district, taste the fantastic variety of Cyprus food and wine, visit the unique
ancient churches of Christianity and the historic
mosque of Halla Sultan. If you enjoy sports then
Larnaka is your heaven, experience sports, sailing, fishing, tennis, Go Karts and others, especially for diving
Larnaka is the most popular destination.
During the summer the fantastic and safe beaches of
Larnaka will give you the energy to return back to work
in your country. Obviously Larnaka offers countless
choices for the visitors. Enjoy them!

Message from Larnaka’s Mayor
Mr. Andreas Louroutziatis
It is with a great pleasure that I welcome you all
to our beautiful city Larnaka. A city with a continuous and uninterrupted history.
Larnaka is the third largest city of the Republic of
Cyprus in terms of population. It hosts the main
international airport, a port and a nice marina
for yachts. It has clean sandy beaches with clear
blue waters and an efficient tourist infrastructure. The town is organized with everything that a large city
can offer.
The development plan of the city is extremely ambitious
and it is already turning the wider Larnaka area into a field of
investments and opportunities. The regeneration projects
will unify the city center promenade with the popular palm
tree –finikoudes pleasure and entertainment area.
Furthermore, a number of other projects in the city are
already under materialization and I urge you to find out
about them by enjoying a walk in the city.
Larnaka is worth visiting!
Message from the Larnaka
Tourism Board Chairman Mr. Dinos
Lefkaritis
On behalf of the Larnaka Tourism Board, I would
like to warmly welcome you to the lovely coastal
region of Larnaka!
Larnaka is considered to be Cyprus’s oldest
town. With a history of 10.000 years, Larnaka is
the gateway to Cyprus and a magical blend of old and new.
From its traditional architecture, authentic taverns and local
handicrafts to its cultural sites and religious monuments, old
Larnaka is an evocative glimpse into a Cyprus past.
New and modern Larnaka harmoniously intertwines with the
elements of ancient Kition and offers the cosmopolitan visitor
beautiful sandy beaches, a bustling promenade lined with
cafes and restaurants, brand-name shopping, advanced infrastructure and every conceivable amenity.
6
Larnaka has numerous landmarks and unique places of interest. This useful edition shall enable to you discover Larnaka’s
hidden treasures and make the most out of your stay!
LARNAKA this month
LARNAKA: Historical and other places to see
The successor of the ancient city-Kingdom of Kition and
the birthplace of Zeno, the great Stoic philosopher.
Evidence of Larnaka’s glorious past are scattered all accross
the region. The most interesting places worth visiting in
and around Larnaka are the following:
Church of St. Lazarus: Of great interest is the church of St.
Lazarus. As the name suggests, it was built to enshrine the
tomb of Lazarus, who,
according to legend, was
expelled from Bethany after
his resurrection and forced
into an unseaworthy boat
which brought him to Kiti.
Here he met with the
Apostles
and
was
consecrated a bishop and
canonised. The Saint’s
remains were discovered
and removed in 890AD.
However, the sarcophagus
is held in great veneration to
this day.
Angeloktisti Church: At
Kiti, to the west of Larnaka
town, is the famous church
of PANAYIA ANGELOKTISTI
("build by Angels”). This
11th Century building
replaced an earlier one,
whilst the chapel at the
entrance is of the 14th
Century. The outstanding
feature of the church is its
splendid early Byzantine
mosaic, considered to be
the finest on the island. The
church is certainly worth
visiting for the mosaic
alone.
7
AUGUST 2013
Phaneromeni Church: On the way to the Airport there is
the underground chapel of Ayia Phaneromeni.
It is a rock cavern with the two chambers. The structure
suggests that it was a pagan tomb once, possibly dating
back to Phoenician times. The place is credited with various
magical properties: thus, those who suffer from headaches
or other diseases walk three times round it and leave a piece
of clothing or a tuft of their hair. It is visited by girls, whose
lovers are overseas, who come here to pray for their safety.
The Larnaka Medieval Castle was erected by the Turks in
1625. This fort is now a museum and its inner courtyard is
used as a an open air garden-theatre during the summer
months, by kind permission of the Director of Antiquities.
The Larnaka District Museum houses a rich collection of
antiquities from Larnaka and its surrounding district.
The Pierides Marfin Laiki Bank Museum contains a unique
archaeological, medieval, post-Byzantine and Cypriot fork
art collections gathered by five consecutive generations of
the family. It also exhibits an old arsenal and a rich collection
of old chartography of Cyprus and the Eastern
Mediterranean.
Municipal Art Gallery & City Museum & Archives. This
Museum is now open at the five old customs stores of NeoGothic architecture which were handed to the Larnaka
Municipality by the Cyprus Government. This dates back to
the early years of British rule in the late 19th century.
The Bust of Zeno stands at Europe’s Square in Phinikoudes
Avenue. Zeno was born in Kition (ancient Larnaka), in 326
B.C. After studying philosophy in Athens he founded the
famous Stoic school of Philosophy.
Ancient Kition: The earliest architectural remains date back
to the 13th century B.C. In about 1200 BC the area was
rebuilt by Archaean Greeks. The remains of the Cyclopean
Walls, made of giant blocks and the complex of the five
temples are of interest.
The Hala Sultan Tekke lies on the banks of the Salt Lake.
Within the precincts of this Tekke is the tomb of Umm
Haram, said to be the foster mother of Mohammed.
According to Moslem tradition Umm Haram died on this
spot in 647 A.D. while accompanying the Arab invaders. She
was buried here and later the Ottomans built the present
8
LARNAKA this month
mosque in her honour. The place is considered to be fourth
holiest in the Moslem world.
The Larnaka Salt Lake is near Larnaka International Airport. It
fills up with water during the winter and is visited by
migratory birds, mainly flamingoes that stay here from
November until the end of March.
The Old Aqueduct, known as “Kamares”, stands outside the
town on the way to Lemesos. It was built in Roman style in
1745 to carry water from a source about 6 miles south of
Larnaka into the town.
Larnaka Palm Trees Promenade: One of Larnaka’s most
distinctive features is the seaside promenade lined with tall
palm trees. It is a popular meeting and walking place
bordered by tavernas a sandy beach, the Medieval Castle and
the Marina.
Marina: The Largest Marina in Cyprus, located in
“Phinikoudes”. Walking on the Marina Pier is a social activity of
the locals.
Choirokoitia: It is the oldest site that one may visit in Cyprus
and its dates back to 7000 B.C. It is included in the UNESCO
World Heritage List.
Discovered in 1934, this significant site revealed numerous
stone foundations of bee-hive shaped houses, usually
circular. The houses themselves would have been of mud
brick and the ancient inhabitants of Choirokoitia buried their
dead under the floors of their dwellings. As many as 26 adult
and infant skeletons have been discovered beneath 8
superimposed floors in one of the houses.
Stavrovouni
Monastery, about
15 miles from
Larnaka, stands on
the peak of a
striking
lone
mountain, over
which St. Helena,
the finder of the
cross of Jesus, saw
a strange light gleam. Taking it as a sign from heaven, she
founded the monastery and left a piece of the Cross
enshrined there.
9
AUGUST 2013
The traditional Village of Lefkara can be reached after a
pleasant drive through the hills. It is renowned worldwide
for its lace which is included in the UNESCO World list of
intangible Heritage.
The villages of Orini are in a mountainous area which is
studded with beautiful traditional architecture and old
churches. A visit to this area, which offers breath-taking
scenery is a must for the tourist as it is unspoilt and
untouched by tourist development. The most interesting
villages are Tochni, Skarinou, Vavatsinia, Ayioi Vavatsinias,
Ora, Odou, Kato Drys and Vavla.
The Venetian Castle of Pyla at the centre of the village
and next to the old church of Archangel Michael. Pyla is
the only mixed village in Cyprus, where Greek and Turkish
Cypriots have lived peacefully together for many years.
Tower of Regena, 17km west of Larnaka is the Venetian
observation castle near Pervolia village. The castle stands
on a hill overlooking the beach and the surrounding area
and was used by the Venetians and Cypriots for observing
the coasts to inform the people of the approach of pirates
and other invadors. From Pervolia castle they used to
make signals of fire and smoke to Pyla Castle informing
them of the coming danger.
The old chapel of prophet Elias is on the top of the
highest hill of Voroklini village. The visitor may have a
breathtaking view of the whole Larnaka town, Voroklini
village and the Larnaka Bay.

Weekend Opening
for Larnaka Medieval Castle
As one of the most historic and significant sites in
Larnaka, the Medieval Castle is a popular tourist
attraction, as well as a beautiful setting for summer
performances and weddings in its courtyards. The
Department of Antiquities - which sets the castle’s
timetable and gives permission for visitors and events
there – have recently amended the opening hours to
include weekends, a welcome decision which will
give more visitors to the town the opportunity to
experience this unique piece of history.
The castle – located at the end of the promenade - is
one of Larnaka’s most historic landmarks and was
built in 1625. It was used as a prison during the first
years of British rule and now serves as a museum and
open-air theatre. Visitors can see original cannons and
other weapons, or enjoy the view across the
Mediterranean from the top of the castle. The picturesque and unique setting of the inner courtyard is a
beautiful combination of ancient stone and lush green
foliage and is used for open-air productions in the
summer months.
With the new timetable, the castle will open on weekdays throughout the summer from 8am – 7.30pm,
and on weekends from 9.30am – 5pm.
11
AUGUST 2013
Sand Sports for All in Larnaka
side from the sports you can enjoy in and on the
water at Larnaka’s excellent beaches, the sand
also provides a challenging base for beach activities such as tennis and volleyball.
A

Yoga on the beach is already a popular pastime on the
island, but now there is a yoga class with a difference as
you take your moves off the sand and into the sea,
balancing atop a board!

The Stand Up Paddle Boards are what give this unique
yoga its acronym of SUP Yoga. These giant surfboards are
large and sturdy enough to support you and add an extra
challenge and dimension to the yoga class, enhanced by
the gentle lapping of the waves and the fresh sea breeze.

The initiative is being run by the KiteMed Kitesurfing School,
located on the Softades - Kiti beach known as ‘The Spot’.
Classes begin at 9am when the sea is calm and are around
75 minutes long. Beginning with a warm-up class on the
beach, this is followed by a brief on SUP Yoga. After
paddling out to sea, the class continues with gentle yoga
on the board and finishes with seated relaxation. The use
of the paddle board is a great way to build strength in your
core muscles as well as improve balance, and everyone
can benefit with or without prior yoga or SUP experience.
