Larnaka International Marathon
Sunday 15 November 2026
Larnaca's flat, scenic road race starts on the palm-lined Finikoudes seafront, close to the salt lake where flamingos spend the winter, in November when the weather is ideal for running. Alongside the full and half marathon there are 10 km, 5 km, corporate 5 km and 1 km children's races, so it suits club runners and families alike. Entrants pay a fee, but cheering from the promenade is free.

Beach
Mackenzie Beach
Larnaca's lively town beach, best known for the aircraft that roar low overhead on final approach to the airport — plane spotters line up here for a reason. The sand is grey-gold and the water shallow and calm, backed by a busy strip of bars and tavernas. Free to visit, though sunbeds are paid and summer weekends get crowded.

A graceful Ottoman aqueduct of tall pale arches striding across the plain on the edge of town — floodlit after dark and reflected in the pools that still gather at its feet.
