We end the day exploring the area around the Church of Saint Lazarus and then returning to the AirBnB

Today we have a more relaxing day planned starting with a walk to the downtown area to see the Larnaca Castle

In the afternoon we visit the quite interesting Archaeological Museum before eating traditional Romanian food made in the AirBnB kitchen

The day starts with a roundtrip around the Larnaca Salt Lake with longer stops at the aqueduct and Hala Sultan Tekke mosque on the shore

Today with our relatives arriving in the morning we explore downtown Larnaca on a short walk in the afternoon

Last stop of the day is Chorokoitia Neolithic Village an Unesco World Heritage site with a mix of reconstructed buildings and extensive excavations

Kolossi Castle is one of the many impressive coastal fortifications from the medieval times to protect against Arab and Turkish raids and enforce rule over the local population

Kyrion is one of the old city states on the island and the ruins are a must see when in the area as they are spread out over a large area with lots to see

Kourion Museum is a small museum but it was worth a visit especially combined with the archaeological site nearby

One short stop on our way is at Aphrodite’s Rock, the birthplace of Aphrodite according to the tourist brochures
