What I personally love about Larnaka is the fact thatit has the atmosphere of a small city and the conven-ience of a metropolitan area. Larnaka has qualitiesthat distinguish the region from other holiday resorts.You can rarely find a place which combines historicattractions, the commercial centre, cosmopolitanpromenades and blue-flag awarded beaches togeth-er with numerous activities, all in a single area. So,Larnaka’s compact size is what makes the destina-tion special together with other characteristics whichcan be revealed by reading this edition.

Wishing you a memorable holiday ... and make sureyou truly experience Larnaka to its fullest!

LARNAKA: Historical and other places to seeThe successor of the ancient city-Kingdom of Kition andthe birthplace of Zeno, the great Stoic philosopher.

Evidence of Larnaka’s glorious past are scattered all accrossthe region. The most interesting places worth visiting inand 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 thetomb of Lazarus, who,according to legend, wasexpelled from Bethany afterhis resurrection and forcedinto an unseaworthy boatwhich brought him to Kiti.Here he met with theApostles and wasconsecrated a bishop andcanonised. The Saint’sremains were discoveredand removed in 890AD.However, the sarcophagusis held in great veneration tothis day.

Angeloktisti Church: AtKiti, to the west of Larnakatown, is the famous churchof PANAYIA ANGELOKTISTI("build by Angels”). This11th Century buildingreplaced an earlier one,whilst the chapel at theentrance is of the 14thCentury. The outstandingfeature of the church is itssplendid early Byzantinemosaic, considered to bethe finest on the island. Thechurch is certainly worthvisiting for the mosaicalone.
