Holidays to Larnaca boast a line-up of golden Blue Flag beaches against a backdrop of charming historical buildings.

The perfect blend

There’s no need to compromise between sunbathing and sightseeing on a holiday to Larnaca, it’s all right on your doorstep. With the airport just a fifteen-minute drive away, a bunch of Blue Flag beaches within easy reach and enough castles, churches and museums to feed your culture fix – it really does tick all the boxes. History buffs will want to visit the Church of Saint Lazarus, Larnaca Fort and Pierides Museum, all dotted along the beachfront.

    Best time to go to Larnaca

    Thanks to its hot, Mediterranean climate, Larnaca sees sunny weather for most of the year. Summers are sizzling, temperatures can soar up to a whopping 40°C in July, and the sun shines for at least ten hours a day. If that sounds a bit too hot to handle, explore Larnaca in April-May or September-October, where the weather averages in the mid-twenties – way more bearable but still sunny enough to get a good tan.

    Top things to see and do in Larnaca

    Finikoudes Beach is a family-friendly stretch of sand in the heart of Larnaca and has earned a Blue Flag badge. Palm trees and a promenade are scattered along the beachfront, and shallow waters and silky sand offer the perfect spot for a dip or just lounging around. And, with a handful of bars and cafes lining the promenade, your food and drink needs are taken care of, too. If watersports are more your thing, they’ve got everything from jet-skis to banana boats, and even paddle-boarding.

    Shopping in Larnaca centres around the Metropolis Mall. It’s just a twenty-minute stroll, or 10-minute drive from Larnaca centre – perfect if you need a break from the heat. This mall has it all, from popular high-street names like Zara, JD Sports and Mango, to some local boutiques, too. And it’s not just clothes, they’ve got home and food stores as well as a hair salon and play area.

    While it might not match its partying sibling, Ayia Napa, there’s still plenty of nightclubs and beach bars to keep you busy until the early hours. Club DEEP, found right on Finikoudes beachfront, is a party hotspot. Expect to be dancing 'til dawn to RnB and House music as well as live local DJs sets.

    This one pot dish is named after the Klephts, a bunch of mountain bandits that would hide and cook stolen meat in underground ovens. Nowadays it’s all about marinated lamb, potatoes, oregano and bay leaves slow cooked until the lamb falls right off the bone. It’s a total crowd-pleaser, you’ll see it on pretty much every taverna menu and it’s a hit with both locals and tourists.
