Larnaca Flights - A short guide. Just outside Larnaca lies the largest airport on the island of Cyprus. And though thousands pass through this small town on their way to better known destinations on the island, few take the time to linger. But the gorgeous beaches and old world architecture are worth taking a look at. The Church of St. Lazarus from the 9 th century and the mystical Ayia Phaneromeni Church are spectacular. If you've made your way to Cyprus in the winter, you'll find the place thousands of flamingos call home as they turn the Great Salt Lake brilliant pink. Kitian, once Larnaca's name, was found to have many ancient coffins, or larnax in Greek, hence today's name of Larnaca. To the north lies an oil refinery, though, since sold in 2008, only serves as a storage facility. Once a great trading centre, Larnaca rarely sees ships these days. However, as one of the main waterways to Cyprus , a number of impressive yachts dock at the marina. A delightful seafront lined with palms makes for the perfect place for a pleasant stroll in the sun. The summer months bring several festivals to the city promenade, including Kataklymos, or Festival of the Floods, which stretches out for three weeks and includes a variety of cultural events.
