Most people arrive in Cyprus via Larnaca, as it has the largest airport. The whole of the island is full of Grecian artefacts, but they are especially common in Larnaca and the Terra Santa Convent has a particularly good collection. Cyprus has always been disputed territory and that history is everywhere, with the Hala Sultan Tekke a reminder of the invasion by the Turks in 649 BC. This lovely mosque marks the grave of the invader’s wife and is something not to be missed when you rent a Larnaca holiday apartment.

The church of St Lazarus is also something you should try and visit when you stay in a Larnaca aparthotel. The church is not his (eventual) resting place, as he is buried in France, but the local belief is that he lived in Larnaca for thirty years after Christ brought him back from the dead. From yet another belief system, the philosopher Zeno came from Larnaca and a good photo opportunity when you stay in a Larnaca city centre (center) apartment is his statue on the waterfront.

Larnaca is not all about history, though. When staying in a Larnaca serviced apartment, you must make time for a trip out to the Salt Lake, where quite literally thousands of flamingos come several times a year. The lake forms a crust of salt on its surface in the heat of the sun and it was once harvested commercially. For animals of a completely different kind, leave your Larnaca holiday rental for the day and visit the camel park, where you can ride a camel, but also the children can enjoy the play area and swimming pool, finishing the day with some Cypriot delicacies in the cafe.

As well as organised attractions to visit from your Larnaca serviced residence, you can go a little less structured with horse riding, sailing or diving. The beaches are absolutely lovely and if you are tired out by everything else, why not just crash out and soak up the sun. And if the blokes fancy a day out on their own, don’t just think of the bars. The Stavrovouni Monastery does not allow women inside! That would make an unusual trip out from your Larnaca apartment rental and something to tell your friends at home. Gifts to take home as a reminder of a stay in a Larnaca short stay apartment include lace and local food such as olives.
