Cyprus, despite the fact that it is a very small island state, offers an amazing wide range of opportunities for recreation. One of its advantages is undoubtedly the possibility of almost year-round recreation. And if in January you cannot swim in the Mediterranean, you will still get a lot of impressions thanks to sunny days, warm weather, the opportunity to walk in the fresh air, and visit the mountains. Paphos is famous for both its beaches and historical sites. Limassol, Ayia Napa, Protaras are always full of beach lovers and daring fun on dance floors and discos. Larnaca also has all this, but its main feature is the price. Indeed, a vacation in Larnaca will surprise you with its relative cheapness.
Among the beaches of this resort is Faros. This beach is located on the Kiti Peninsula near the city. One of its advantages, in addition to cleanliness and well-groomed, is the presence of a large number of places both for swimming and for relaxing on the shore. This is a great place for families with children and for those who are just learning to swim or do not feel the strength to fight the tidal waves. Pharos Beach has a breakwater that ensures the calm waters.
Residents of Cyprus prefer Mackenzie Beach. It is also located near Larnaca. It is quiet and peaceful here, there are many bars and taverns with national cuisine. In addition, prices at Mackenzie Beach are significantly lower. If you are interested in a measured vacation, away from the crowds of tourists, then welcome to this particular place!
Another Larnaca beach worth mentioning is Finikoudes. It is located as close to the city as possible between the port and the fort. It is full in season, as both locals and visitors come here to relax. Its convenience can hardly be overestimated - after splashing around, you can immediately visit one of the many bars or go to the store.
I must say that the beaches of Larnaca, as a rule, are either small pebbles or sandy. But the sand here is special, gray-yellow, often mixed with shells or the same pebbles. In addition to the above-mentioned beaches, in the vicinity of Larnaca are the beaches of Meneu, Agios Theodoros, Dasaki, Lenios and many others. Larnaca's beaches are perfect for those who flew here on vacation with small children and prefer a measured pastime alone or with their family.
