Larnaca Beaches: MacKenzie Beach

MacKenzie beach is a well known beach among the locals and it’s located next to the old airport of Larnaca (Larnaca Airport)…and very close to Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque and the Salt Lake.

We love sunbathing, swimming and relaxing on this beautiful beach while having our favorite cocktail. It’s our favorite “activity” :-).

We love the shallow and clear waters of this wonderful blue flag sandy beach which is a 1 km long strip with facilities such as umbrellas, sun beds, toilets, cafes, lounges, bars, restaurants and clubs.

If you are vacationing with your family and you have kids with you consider visiting it. You have nothing to lose since it’s a family friendly beach. You and your kids will love it!

Youngsters visit this beach too, mainly because of the facilities it offers...the clubs, the bars, the lounges, sun beds, umbrellas, etc.

At night the beach is a hot nightspot for clubbers.

Another reason we love this beach is that there is a huge car park, so there is no inconvenience to find a spot to park your car...unless it’s summer time (June, July and August). If it’s summer time it might be difficult for you to find a parking place. These things happen :-).


Larnaca Beaches: Finikoudes Beach

We love the blue flag sandy beach of Finikoudes!

Finikoudes means palm trees.

It’s one of our favorite spots in Larnaca district and that’s why it’s at the top of our list of beaches in Larnaca.

Why one of our favorite spots?

Because Finikoudes beach is situated right alongside the most famous promenade in the Larnaca district…the Finikoudes Promenade (one of our favorite spots on the island).

There you can find everything you need for an amazing day out on the beach.

From restaurants, to taverns, to bars, to kiosks, to cafes and chain restaurants, to hotels, to sun beds and umbrellas on the beach, toilets and changing rooms.

Access to the beach of Finikoudes is very easy…on foot, by car, by bus or by bike.

This wonderful beach has shallow, calm, crystal clear waters which makes it suitable for kids. It’s a family friendly beach full of locals and visitors to the island, especially during the summer months of June, July and August.

We visit Finikoudes Promenade and the beach usually around September when it is less crowded. Because of the high quality of restaurants on the promenade we visit it during winter time too in order to enjoy our lunch or dinner and admire the winter Mediterranean Sea.

We hope you enjoy this wonderful beach as much as we do! :-)


Larnaca Beaches: Faros Beach

We remember the first time we went to this beach. We were kids and it was with our parents. We loved it!

Kids love the beaches. Give them sand, the sea to splash in and a relaxing environment and they are over the moon :-).

Anyway, Faros beach is one of the top 3 beaches we love in Larnaca district.

Faros means Lighthouse.

This stunning blue flag beach is located at Cape Kiti in the village of Pervolia in Larnaca district. It’s a 500 meter strip of golden sand with facilities such as umbrellas, sun beds, toilets, water sports and restaurants.

We love it because of its facilities, because it attracts both families and younger crowds and because it’s very easy to access...either on foot, by car or by bike.
