Detailed itinerary

1

This captivating Larnaca shore excursion commences at the Limassol cruise ship port. A warm welcome awaits you from our friendly driver just outside the cruise ship terminal. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle, embarking on a 1-hour journey through the scenic beauty of Cyprus. Our tours are meticulously synchronized with your ship's docking times, ensuring a prompt start and a timely return to the port with ample time to spare before your ship's departure.

Larnaca Castle is a medieval Ottoman fortress, founded by Europeans in the 14th century and rebuilt by the Turks in 1625 to protect the harbor of Larnaca. The castle is located at the southern end of the Phinikoudes Promenade. The castle currently houses a historical museum.

3

The Church of St. Lazarus is a ninth-century Orthodox church in the city of Larnaca, Republic of Cyprus. It is administered by the Metropolitanate of Kythia of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus. The church is consecrated in the name of the righteous Lazarus of Bethany, whom, according to the Gospel, was raised by Jesus Christ.

4

Named after the palm trees that line the most famous area of Larnaca, the Finikoudes promenade is a popular spot for both locals and visitors alike. This 600-metre long stretch of sandy beach has calm, warm and shallow waters, and proximity to the many cafés, bars, restaurants and hotels, make it an ideal family destination.

5

One of the most famous mosques in Larnaca, located almost in the very heart of the city, has several names at once: Jami Kebir, Kami Kebir, also called the Buyuk Kami mosque. It is located directly opposite the Larnaca Fortress, built in the Middle Ages, and not far from the Church of Saint Lazarus. It was its location and proximity to famous attractions that made this mosque so popular among foreign tourists.

6

The Skala neighborhood is surrounded by the sea on one side and Artemis Avenue on the other. It is an elongated neighborhood enclosed by a "Greek Orthodox", two "Turkish" and a "Pagan" street. In Google Maps, the boundaries of Skala roughly coincide with ours.
