A traditional delicacy in Larnaca is flaounes: pastries filled with a mixture of cheese, egg, raisins and herbs, baked until crispy and golden brown. You’ll also find halloumi, Cyprus’s famous cheese, on many menus, along with Greek favourites such as souvlaki and loukoumades.

The highlights of Larnaca
Larnaca may not always be the first place that comes to mind, but there’s plenty to discover:

This impressive lake dries up completely in the summer, creating a moon-like landscape. In winter, it becomes home to many flamingos, making it a must-see spot for nature lovers.
- Admire the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque
While walking around the salt lake, you might already catch a glimpse of the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque. This striking mosque is one of the most important in Islam and a fascinating place to visit.
- Take a boat trip along the coast
Hop on a boat from Larnaca’s coast and cruise past the stunning red cliffs, where you can take a refreshing swim. Don’t miss the chance to jump off the boat at the Love Bridge, a natural rock formation that arches over the water. The pirate caves are also an incredible sight. A boat tour like this is definitely worth it!
- Stroll along the Finikoudes promenade
Experience the ultimate holiday vibe with a walk along the Finikoudes promenade. Enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea while passing charming restaurants, cafés, and unique shops.
- Geniet op het strand
For a perfect beach day, lay down your towel at Finikoudes beach, right by the promenade. You can also try out different water sports here. Or head to Mackenzie beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant restaurants and bars. Fun fact: aircraft fly very low over this beach just before landing at Larnaca airport, an exciting experience, so don’t be startled!
