The Larnaca (Larnaka) area of Cyprus has a long history of tourism and the city boasts a truly stunning setting, on the southerly Mediterranean coast, where it is home to the island's premier airport. Once a sleepy town, the Larnaca of today has managed to retain much of its earlier charm, whilst catering to the regular influx of sun-seeking, beach-going, night-clubbing holiday makers.
There really is plenty for everyone in Larnaca, with its characterful and historical Turkish Quarter being a labyrinth of traditional streets, white-washed Cypriot housing and local craft shops. Close by and along the bustling, palm tree-lined Leoforos Athinon / Athinou Avenue (Finikoudes Promenade), a myriad of shops and chain stores present themselves, while nearby and close to the Sun Hall Hotel, tourist information is available at the office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO).
