Larnaca, on the south coast of Cyprus, is known for buzzy beachfront bars, long sandy beaches such as Finikoudes and Mackenzie, the impressive Zenobia wreck diving site and a history that can be traced back more than 3,000 years to its foundation just after the Trojan war. Here’s our guide to the port city’s best places to stay.
