Winter Redefined in Larnaka Region


	Whilst we cannot pretend that life continues as normal amidst the global pandemic, we can promise that Larnaka Region will offer you the warmest welcome this winter! The season brings mild temperatures that are made for walks along the coast in the fresh sea air, or for taking excursions to the rural and mountain communities where natural beauty and tradition create an alluring outing. If you are unable to be with us in person, then a new virtual tour can be enjoyed from the comfort of your living room and is certain to inspire your next visit! If you are in the city, make your reservation to visit the Pierides and Kallinikeio museums to view one of the two interesting themed exhibits they are incorporating this winter. Looking towards 2021, we enter a new era with the signing of the contract for the development of the integrated port and marina project, and the culmination of many other exciting projects currently underway. Until we are able to welcome you back for the full Larnaka Region experience in better times, we send our wholehearted seasonal wishes for peace, prosperity… and above all – health.

A New Era for Larnaka Port & Marina

Larnaka’s vision for a world-class port and marina is finally becoming a reality with the signing of the contract for the development and operation of the project, with works commencing in January 2021.

Larnaka… Virtually Yours!

If you are unable to enjoy the attractions of Larnaka city in person this winter, sit back and enjoy a new virtual tour from the comfort of your home in preparation for your next visit.

Crafted by Hand in Mountainous Larnaka

Mountainous Larnaka continues to promote its handicrafts with the launch of a new video showcasing its unique traditions, along with the creation of an open-air market by the Women's Association of Rural Larnaka.

Larnaka Tennis Finds its Home

Larnaka Tennis Club has successfully completed its move to new, state-of-the-art premises, paving the way for further excavations at the site of ancient Kition where the port was discovered on the grounds of the former tennis courts.

Clean Coasts: In It Together

As part of continuous efforts to keep our sands and seawaters pristine, a sea and beach cleaning campaign was held at McKenzie beach, Marina and Psarolimano with the participation of 60 volunteers who cleared 1.5 tonnes of assorted waste.

Themed Exhibits to Enjoy This Winter

Whilst Larnaka Region’s event calendar is currently reduced due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Pierides and Kallinikeio museums continue to offer culture lovers something to look forward to with two, new themed exhibitions.
