Private Walking Tour of Larnaca
Description
Larnaca, known in the ancient times as ‘Kition,’ was one of the most important Kingdoms of the island and birthplace of the philosopher Zenon, founder of the movement of Stoicism in Athens. Saint Lazarus is the patron saint of the city with an imposing church dedicated to him, which is only a short distance from the old ottoman fort. From certain facets in the center of the city, one can notice how the east meets the west between minarets and bell towers.

Itinerary
Located in its own square in the centre of town, the magnificent stone church of Agios Lazaros is one of the most remarkable examples of Byzantine architecture in Cyprus and lies over the tomb of the saint.
Located at the end of the Foinikoudes promenade, the Medieval Castle of Larnaka is believed to have been originally built during the Middle Ages, and took its present form during the Ottoman rule, although there is some contestation of its origins.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed myself thoroughly with the guide! It is highly recommended if you have a very short amount of time.
Albina was very informative about the history of Larnaca and the places she took us too, she was friendly and accommodating to what we wanted to see and the questions we asked.
Eleni was awesome! We enjoyed Larnaca so very much. Tour could be 1 1/2 hours as we didn't need all the ceramic vendors. Book super early or evening as very hot and humid. Thanks for a great tour Eleni! We had our 4 adult sons and 3 girlfriends and we covered history to shopping spots and food of course.
