Larnaka seafront is vaguely reminiscent of the Continental promenade, with its line of mature palms and its languid air of sleepy charm.
Larnaka’s links with Christianity go back to the very beginning, for the town’s first bishop was none other than Agios Lazaros, who chose to live his ‘second life’ there after Jesus had raised him from the dead.
Again within striking distance of Larnaka, is the Church of Panagia Angeloktisti which houses the 6th century life-size Byzantine mosaic of the Virgin Mary — one of the finest in the world from this period.

 Larnaka - Cyprus - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Larnaka, for me, represented everything bad about the tourist bulldozer that seems to be steaming through Cyprus, obliterating everything Cypriot in its path and replacing it with the some of the worst aspects of Britain's seaside towns.
Larnaka isn't ugly, even in the rain; the beach is a pretty little spot, although the sand is a rather putrid green at this time of year, and the marina is nice enough.
OK, possibly not like the next man in Larnaka, who is probably an overweight, pasty-skinned bloater who hobbles around with the aid of a walking stick and who jokes about his beer belly being 'an investment'.
