Знаете ли Вы, что 80% туристов прилетая на Кипр не подозревают, что выходя из аэропорта ступают на землю одного из старейших городов мира?
Ларнака – не просто старинный город. Это живая история в каждом переулке, в каждой старинной церкви и мечети. Это место силы, где Вы действительно можете почувствовать течение времени и аромат древних легенд.
И не удивляйтесь, что маленькой Ларнаке я уделяю целых 5 часов (столько же в среднем длится обзорная экскурсия по Риму)! Сегодня нам нужно успеть многое: совершить путешествие во времени длиной 10000 лет, раскрыть тайны библейских легенд, научиться “читать” старинную архитектуру, понять культуру и быт киприотов, научиться видеть вековое равновесие Христианства и Ислама!

Церковь Святого Лазаря - это православный храм, расположенный в городе Ларнака на острове Кипр. Этот исторический храм является одной из значимых религиозных достопримечательностей острова. Церковь была построена в XII веке на месте, где, по вере, был погребен святой Лазарь. Внутри храма находится мраморный саркофаг, предполагаемое место погребения святого. Церковь была восстановлена и перестроена в разные периоды истории, но ее архитектурный стиль сочетает элементы бизантийского, готического и ренессансного стилей.

The salt lake of Larnaca in Cyprus is a unique natural attraction that changes its appearance depending on the time of year. In winter, the lake fills with water, and in summer it turns into a salt desert. Pink flamingos can be seen here as they come here to nest. The lake also attracts lovers of exotic nature thanks to the rare black flamingo, the only one of its kind.
