Transport:Easy

Larnaca is quite simple to navigate, especially within the city center. You can easily explore its beautiful streets on foot or use public transportation.

Solo travel

Cyprus has my whole heart. I feel like it’s my second home. Not only do i feel incredibly safe and welcome there (more than my own country), it’s just so beautiful. The food, the weather, the cats, the beach, everything. This was my second solo trip to larnaca this year (my first ever solo trip anywhere outside of the UK and Hungary was in February this year, to Larnaca, and i went again a month later). Both times were only for one day, so I’d arrive saturday morning, and come back sunday afternoon. It is absolutely worth it even for a one day werkend getaway. First time i stayed in Finikoudes, this time i stayed in Mackenzie. I definitely prefer Finikoudes, there’s more shops and more to do, but i also liked Mackenzie because of the planes (AvGeek). I ate a halloumi burger in a restaurant on the beach and that was the best halloumi burger of my life. I used buses and Bolt taxis to get around, my Bolt taxi driver was always the same guy and he was very sweet and kind. Overall really good experience.
