Larnaca is a city in Cyprus with evidence of being inhabited 6000 years ago. This makes Larnaca Cyprus’ oldest city. It has an old city center with newer developments around it, as well as hotels and restaurants along the beach front.
Larnaca, like other locations in Cyprus, features impressive architectural and cultural diversity and beauty. The Church of St. Lazarus is a popular site for visitors, and stems for the 9th century. On the other side of the spectrum, the Hala Sultan Tekke Mosk shows just how diverse Larnaca is; it is said to be the location of Umm Haram’s tomb, who was the foster mother of Mohammed.
Larnaca is also famous for its pink flamingos on the Larnaca Salt Lake, west of the city. Especially among divers Larnaca is renowned for the wreck of the Zenobia, which was a ro-ro ferry that sunk in 1980. The wreck is situated at a mere 18 meters and is thus accessible to divers of any proficiency level.
Visitors and locals alike love the lace and silverware typical of Larnaca. There is an abundance of independent jewellers who craft unique and beautiful pieces.
Larnaca is a favorite destination with many international travellers from the world over. Many new developments have been started in the area, however the rate of property development cannot keep up with the demand. As a result the capital appreciation in Larnaca has been extraordinary and continues to show great growth potential. Buy-to-let is an attractive option for investors thanks to Larnaca’s 340 days of sunshine, essentially causing an extremely short downturn season. Access investments will introduce you to the off plan property that perfectly suits your individual needs, taste and budget. |
