Larnaca located in south central Cyprus has the main International Airport of the island. That is where most likely you will set your foot first. Larnaca it's a resort city too with its own unique attractions. |

Phinikudes(palm-trees), it's one of my favorite, a pedestrian palm-tree
line sea front road stretch for about 2km, it's a place where you can
take a walk, shop for souvenirs or just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee.
