Finikoudes Promenade
Larnaca’s palm-lined seafront: a sandy town beach, a working marina and a long stroll past the medieval fort to the church of Saint Lazarus — the heart of the city.
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.
Sunday 15 November 2026 · From 07:00. Race-number collection runs 12–14 November.

Larnaca’s palm-lined seafront: a sandy town beach, a working marina and a long stroll past the medieval fort to the church of Saint Lazarus — the heart of the city.

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.

Yes. It is held every year, usually in November, and usually lasts 1 day.
The biggest wine festival in Cyprus, running nine days in the Municipal Gardens on the seafront. Entry is €5 for adults (€3 for 13–17s, under-12s free) and the wineries’ tastings inside are free; a wine glass costs €1.50–2.50 extra. Food, music and dance every evening.
The island's home-grown pop culture convention, running annually since the mid-2010s with cosplay contests, artist alley, gaming zones and comic vendors. It is smaller and friendlier than the giant international cons, which makes it easy to actually see everything in a day. Tickets are modestly priced and the cosplay standard is impressively high for a small island.
A Sunday in Agios Mamas, one of the Commandaria wine villages in the hills north of Limassol, where you can watch — and help with — the making of ppalouzes and soutzoukos, the grape-must sweets of the harvest. Live folk music and dancing, a village market, donkey rides and storytelling for children; free entry.
