Larnaca Region:
is a fast growing tourist and commercial centre with fast motorway connections to explore the island and access numerous beaches; they say there is one for every day of the year! In Larnaca itself, the pedestrianised seafront is lined with relaxing cafes and bars and some sophisticated restaurants. There is a very popular tourist beach by the centre of town. Both Larnaca and Agia Napa have lively nightlife scenes but also provide extensive shopping and eating out during the day. The modern city was established according to legend by one of Noah's grandsons in 13th Century BC! The enthusiast will be able to track down Roman archaeological remains and more recent historic churches. Go to Kornos for traditional pottery and Lefkara for lace, embroidery and jewellery.
Tersefanou Village:
is a typical Cypriot village with traditional bars and restaurants offering local dishes. You will find a tobacconist and a local supermarket. Local beaches and eating can be found at Pervolia and Cape Kiti (10 minutes by car) but really there are so many delightful locations to choose from it would be a shame to restrict yourself to these!!! Take a drive down the coast road to Zygi and enjoy one of several truely excellent fish restaurants, very popular with the Cypriots. For the more adventurous, wizz onto the motorway network and take a day out in Nicosia, Limassol or wend your way up into the wonderful Troodos Mountains for some fresh air and superb views. Family fun can be had in the flumes and lagoons of Waterworld, Agia Napa. All less than an hours drive!
Watersports, Diving and Skiing: :
Cyprus has many great wrecks to dive (including the famous Zenobia). At the CTO (Pyla Beach) you will find jet skiing, banana boats plus a selection of volley ball & football pitches for the more energetic. Families are also well catered for with great bowling and karting facilities situated in Larnaca.
In the warm winter months Cyprus turns into an island of contrast where you ski high in the Troodos Mountains and retreat to Majestic Gardens to sunbathe during the afternoon.
