Finikoudes Beach Promenade

Larnaca's iconic palm tree avenue flanking a wide sandy bay, medieval coastal fort, and lively waterfront dining.

The vibrant heart of seaside Larnaca. Lined with towering date palms planted in 1922, the avenue runs alongside a broad, shallow sandy beach.

At the southern tip sits the picturesque stone Larnaca Medieval Fort, while the northern end houses the marina for sailing charters and boat tours.

Tips before you go

  • Standard municipal beach sunbeds cost €2.50 each.
  • Visit the Medieval Castle at the southern end for panoramic bay photos.
  • Major arrival hub for Intercity buses from Limassol, Nicosia, and Ayia Napa.

How to get there
