A Larnaca holiday will take you towards the southeast of Cyprus, which spectacularly enjoys virtually zero rainfall throughout the months of June through to September.

As with many of the island's larger municipalities, Larnaca is drenched in history. Attractions for history buffs will include ancient Kition, the church of Ayios Lazaros and Larnaca Medieval Museum. Meanwhile, the seafront is a tremendous hive of activity and relaxation, with long, sandy beaches, a huge marina and many fantastic bars and restaurants lining the nearby streets. Whether it's a sunny day or a warm evening, it's fair to say that no one will be starved of things to see and do with a Larnaca holiday.
