Kastella Beach (Psarolimano)

Cozy Blue Flag sandy cove adjacent to the charming Psarolimano fishing harbor and traditional tavernas.

Kastella Beach is a sheltered stretch of fine dark sand located between Mackenzie Beach and the Psarolimano fishing port. Low breakwaters keep the waters calm and gentle.

Its proximity to the traditional seafood restaurants of the old Skala district makes it an ideal pick for combining swimming with an authentic fish lunch.

Tips before you go

  • Perfect for toddlers and young children due to shallow, tranquil water.
  • Savor fresh grilled calamari and sea bream at Psarolimano harbour tavernas just behind.
  • Paved seaside walkway leads straight back towards the Medieval Castle.

How to get there

Along Piale Pasa avenue in Larnaca, 15 minutes walk south of Finikoudes promenade.
