Best Hotels in Larnaca
Larnaca is the easiest place in Cyprus to arrive in and start enjoying immediately. The airport is only a few minutes from the seafront, the centre is flat and walkable, and you can have a beach day without hiring a car. Choice is smaller than in the big resorts, which is the main trade-off.
Who this area is best for
Short stays, early or late flights, car-free trips, city-and-beach combinations and travellers who want a relaxed base.
Best areas to stay in Larnaca
Finikoudes and the Promenade
The central seafront, with the palm-lined promenade, the town beach and most of the restaurants. Best for a car-free stay.
Mackenzie Beach
South towards the airport, with beach bars and a livelier daytime scene. Handy for early departures.
Old Town and Agios Lazaros
A few streets back from the sea, quieter and more local, with smaller guesthouses and apartments.
Oroklini and Pyla
North of the city, more residential with apartments and villas. A car is useful here.
