Upon arriving at Larnaca International Airport, the first site of interest you will encounter is the Salt Lake of Larnaca. A magnificent nature place. The total surface area of the Larnaca Salt Lake is 2.2 Km² and it is considered one of the most important wetlands in Cyprus with an array of plants, birds and wildlife. It has a history as a natural habitat of sea life that can be traced as far back as 3 to 5 million years ago. Indeed, fossil life of this age can be found in the surrounding hills. During the prehistoric age the Salt Lake was a gulf. From 17th century B.C. onwards it was a natural port for the prehistoric town next to Hala Sultan Tekke, but was then abandoned by the inhabita

Sitting on top of a mountain peak, Stavrovouni Monastery, dedicated to the Holy Cross, was founded in 330 A.D. by Saint Helen, the mother of St. Constantine the Great. She brought with her from her travels to the Holy Land a piece of the Holy Cross with which the Monastery derives its name. People can come to venerate it as it is enshrouded in a large silver Cross. From the Monastery, due to its position, one may view the surrounding area including Larnaca bay. The monastic brotherhood is exceptionally devout, keeping strict vows akin to those of Mount Athos in Greece. Women are not allowed in the Monastery; although one of the monks comes down some days to confess them. Men may visit the Mo

Zenobia Wreck
The Zenobia wreck is an absolute must for all serious divers visiting Cyprus. If you are not a diver but wish to see the Zenobia shipwreck, you can opt for a glass-bottom boat from the Larnaka Marina. The Zenobia was a Swedish roll-on-roll-off ferry which was loaded with 104 trailers and trucks when it sunk on her maiden voyage to Cyprus in June 1980 off Larnaka’s fishing harbour. The Zenobia wreck is now lying on her port side 42 meters deep and 1.5km from the shore. The top part of the wreck is 16m below the water surface. The water visibility is on a normal day up to 50m, with the temperature ranging from 16oC in the winter to 27oC during the summer. The Zenobia has now bec

The Golden Donkeys farm is located in the village of Skarinou. It accommodates approximately two hundred donkeys. The farm was built as a labour of love for sustaining Cyprus tradition. The main reason for establishing the farm was to protect these beautiful animals that are on the verge of extinction. A beautiful botanical garden encompasses the farm. The aroma of the garden’s herbs is ever-present; basil, lavender, oregano, among others. Once you enter the farm, you come across a very old olive tree, perhaps the oldest in Cyprus, which, along with the fauna and flora, creates a magnificent atmosphere with distinct smells and colours. Check out the winery, the old well, and the olive mill.

Part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, this wonderful Neolithic settlement was discovered well preserved. The site depicts the Neolithic period in Cyprus, offering insight on the Neolithic culture in the area. This site contains 5 dwellings that have been reconstructed based on the Neolithic construction mould. In the reconstruction, the same methods of construction and materials were used together with the very objects found in the houses during the excavations for the furnishings. This was done to ensure a real and accurate impression of the village as it was then, all those years ago.
