Tips

If you have extra time, extend your stay by a day to explore the nearby town of Ayia Napa or take a boat trip to the sea caves. To shorten the trip, combine Days 4 and 5 into a single “Historical & Cultural Highlights” day and skip the Lefkara excursion, which will still give you a rich taste of Larnaca’s beaches and heritage.
