Larnaca is an excellent location to host
international scientific conferences. The town
is large enough to give everything one may need
but still is not overcrowded especially at its
beautiful beaches which extend for 25
kilometres. The archaeological
sites and its six museums are in
the centre of the city within walking distance. Summer sports, sea activities and cruises are
readily available. The shops are well stocked,
medical care is excellent, its cinemas are
screening films simultaneously with the cinemas of
rest of Europe and the USA. The variety of
restaurants, tavernas, cafeterias and bars is
very great. The Cyprus "meze" is the food
specialty of the town. Night life is interesting
and security in the streets unsurpassed.
Cultural life is rich and many events are
organized by the town's Municipality almost
daily.
Because of the mild climate in the winter and
the genuine hospitality of the local people,
Larnaca enjoys tourism at very high occupancy
rates all the year round. Larnaca with its wider
area has nearly 10.000 hotel beds, about 10% of the
total all island tourist capacity. Along the
Larnaca bay there are luxurious beach hotels as
well as hotel and holiday apartments of
very high standard, at considerably lower rates
than the hotel rates at other places of the country. Larnaca,
being
situated in
small distance from other
towns and tourist places, is the ideal base
for
exploring the island. The Larnaca International
Airport, although it lies just a few kilometres from the centre of
the town, the town itself is completely
outside of the cone of landing and departing
aircrafts.
