  • If you're not renting a car, stay in Larnaca for easy access to both Larnaca and Ayia Napa

  • Walk the promenades in Larnaca to see art, cafes, and landmarks

  • Pack beach essentials: swimsuit, sunscreen, and shoes for rocky areas

  • Prioritize photo spots: Kamara Tou Koraka, Cape Greco, Sea Caves

  • Wear good shoes for hikes and cliff walks

  • Catch sunsets at Larnaca Salt Lake and Cape Greco
