Ancient City of Kition
According to history, the great-grandson of the biblical Noah was the creator of the ancient city. He founded Kition as a whole state in the 13th century BC. Saint Lazarus brought Christianity here. The complex of the ancient park includes the surviving walls and workshops, sarcophagi and five ancient pagan temples. In addition, in transparent showcases available for inspection by tourists, there are things that in former times were used to worship the gods of Egypt and Olympus. Reviews about visiting Kition are consistently enthusiastic.

Mackenzie Beach
One of the reasons for Mackenzie's fame is its good location - it is located near the airport. People relaxing on the beach can take original photos with the plane "in the palm of your hand" or over your shoulder. The beach line is covered with fairly loose brown-yellow sand. The entry into the water is shallow, so tourists with children are happy to relax here. The Finikoudes and Mackenzie city embankment combines a well-equipped promenade with paths for cyclists and pedestrians.

Europe Square
The area is famous for its colonial buildings built in the 19th century by the British. Having conquered the island, the latter began the active construction of government centers and warehouses. Today, the buildings have a completely different purpose: they are reserved for buildings for city services, galleries and museum complexes. In the central part there is a fountain illuminated in the evening with multi-colored illumination. The central avenue of the resort departs from Europe Square.

Salt Lake
Such attractions of Larnaca should be visited first of all, but only in the cold season. In the winter months, pink flamingos live on the lake, migrating to Cyprus from Kazakhstan, France and Italy. Let's say right away that on hot summer days the place is more reminiscent of the beaches of Larnaca - the territory dries up completely. The bottom of the reservoir is covered with a huge layer of salt.

Larnaca Castle
Medieval palace-fort, built in the 14th century to protect the city from attacks from the sea. During the Ottoman war, the building was almost completely destroyed, but at the beginning of the 17th century it was rebuilt and restored. During recent excavations, an ancient foundation was found, showing the original dimensions of the object. At one time, the castle belonged to the British, who turned it into a prisoner for the issuance and enforcement of death sentences. The gallows, located on the territory of the complex, was last used for its intended purpose in 1948. Now a museum has been opened in the palace, the collections of which acquaint guests with samples of Christian culture created in the 4th-19th centuries.

Church of St. Lazarus
Even the best sights of Cyprus cannot always boast of the same wide popularity as this temple. It is in this holy place for believers all over the world that the remains of St. Lazarus, whom Jesus resurrected on the fourth day after his death. The clergy drove Lazarus out, forcing him to leave the city. The relics of the saint are the most valuable relic, which was partially taken to Constantinople. But a small part managed to survive in Larnaca. No matter how short your trip to Cyprus is, you should definitely visit this church and bow to the relics.
