Cruise ships dock east of the town where plans are underway for a massive development project to transform Larnaca into the eastern Mediterranean’s leading cruise holiday hub.
The resort is mostly modern, with a long attractive seafront, fringed by palm trees, cafes and tavernas. To the northern end of the promenade is a pleasure marina and the Fort, around which is Larnaca’s old Turkish quarter. There are churches and museums to visit in town and some of the island’s finest monasteries are close by.
