About Larnaca
Larnaca is a laid-back seaside town on Cyprus's south coast, with a palm-lined promenade, a salt lake that fills with flamingos and ancient churches.
Larnaca grew on the site of ancient Kition, birthplace of the philosopher Zeno, founder of Stoicism, and its seafront promenade, Finikoudes, is lined with palms, cafés and a town beach. The Church of Saint Lazarus, with a carved and gilded iconostasis, stands over a tomb that tradition says holds the friend of Jesus raised from the dead. A medieval fort at the end of the promenade holds a small museum.
