Larnaca

harbor promenade

When checking in to our hotel room in Frangiorgio Hotel Apartments We were upgraded to an apartment with a large kitchen-living area and two bedrooms. The only thing that was a bit unusual was that there was a large billboard in front of the bathroom window.

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather, with temperatures of 20°C and sunshine, and headed towards the beach. We walked along the promenade and searched for two geocaches along the way. This would also mark a new country for the statistics.

The color of the sand didn't look particularly inviting. It wasn't a golden yellow beach, but rather an ochre color; it looked almost dirty. I was surprised by the countless lemon trees. Here, juicy yellow fruits were already hanging from the trees.

It's clearly noticeable that Larnaca is still in hibernation. Some restaurants along the promenade are either only open for lunch for a short time, or sometimes not open at all. The ones that were open were packed with football fans, apparently watching the English Premier League. After a bit of searching, we found a place for dinner and decided on a shawarma meal. We chose two Cypriot beers to go with our mixed meat platter. They know what a reasonable bottle size is around here. :)
