Larnaca

Larnaca lies on the south-east coast of Cyprus, has the island’s largest airport and a palm-lined seafront promenade. The queer scene is small; many visitors combine Larnaca with nearby Nicosia.

The scene

One queer meeting point is the Lube Bar. In the evening, nightlife in general is concentrated on the Finikoudes seafront promenade and the streets behind it.

When to go

  • April to October: swimming season on the Finikoudes promenade
  • June: Cyprus Pride in Nicosia, around 45 minutes away
