sand. Next, head further inland to explore the modern downtown district, historic Old Town and atmospheric
Turkish Quarter for the perfect blend of relaxation and activity.
Highlights 1 Take a trip to Larnaca Salt Lake and see its dry shores strewn with pink flamingos. 2 Seasoned scuba divers can venture
below the surface to see the Zenobia Shipwreck, a ferry that sank in 1980 – you'll find it just off the fishing harbour. 3 Got kids in tow?
Hire a car and make the one-hour drive to Nicosia's Fairytale Museum, which brings the magical world of fairy tales to life.
