A Cyprus detailed map shows that the town of Larnaca lies on the South coast of the island, it was once the main port of Cyprus and the wealth from that era still shows in some very beautiful and gracious buildings in the old town. Some visitors visiting the East of the island, check for prices of a cheap flight only to Larnaca, Cyprus with the intention of dashing straight through the airport without spending time there, which I believe is a missed opportunity.

There have been major infrastructure improvements over the past 5 years, including the international airport on the western fringes of the town where Phase 1 of a new terminal with a capacity for 7.5 million passengers is nearing completion and will be opening in Autumn 2009. Phase 2 of the development will increase capacity once again to 9 million passengers in 2010. This will delight travellers looking at prices of cheap flight only to Larnaca, Cyprus as the increase in the numbers of flights can only bring more choice and competition.

There are lots of local attractions, beautiful beaches with the usual sun beds and water sports facilities available for hire. There is wonderful scenery and as a Cyprus detailed map will show; a wealth of historical sites around the town including the church of St Lazarus dominating the town centre, the stunning Hala Sultan Tekke Muslim shrine, standing on the salt lake which in spring is pink with migrating flamingos, beautiful Panagia Angeloktistos church in Kiti and the monastery of Stavrovouni to name but a few. Central Larnaca has a beautiful seafront promenade called Finikoudes after the tall palm trees that line it, at one end there is the large marina and the restored old customs houses, at the other end there is the Fort built by the Turks in 1625 which is now a museum.
