Poles eagerly visit Cyprus – in 2023 we were the third most represented tourist group on the island. Not surprisingly, as the high temperatures prevailing throughout the majority of the year, a well-developed hotel base and an intriguing mix of diverse cultures make the island a tourist destination that is definitely worth visiting. Thanks to the continuously growing number of aircraft in our fleet, starting from this fall we will be able to provide travelers with an opportunity to visit the sunny city of Larnaca - says Michał Fijoł, CEO of LOT Polish Airlines.
Located in the south-eastern part of the island and built on the ruins of the ancient city-kingdom of Kition, Larnaca enjoys the Mediterranean variety of subtropical climate. Its sandy beaches, emerald-colored waters of the Mediterranean and the Foinikoudes Promenade make it a great destination for leisurely relaxation enthusiasts. Those preferring active forms of recreation and sightseeing will not be disappointed as well. The list of Larnaca’s extraordinary sights includes a 17th century Turkish fort, the Orthodox Church of St. Lazarus dating back to the 9thcentury, the Kamares Aqueduct and the Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque located on the banks of the Salt Lake that is famous for a large number of flamingos.
Larnaca may also serve as a great base for trips to other parts of Cyprus - the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. According to Greek mythology, it was there that the goddess of love Aphrodite rose out of the sea foam. The Cypriot culinary tradition embraces both Mediterranean and Southern European influences. It relies heavily on olive oil, wine, cheeses, fresh vegetables, lamb, veal, fish and sea food.
The Larnaca International Airport is located just 8 km south of the city. It boasts the title of the busiest airfield in Cyprus.
Starting from 16 July, tickets for flights from Warsaw to Larnaca are available via all of LOT’s sales channels, including the lot.com website, LOT Contact Center and LOT Travel offices.
