Salt Lake

The Larnaca Salt Lake is a beautiful place, with lush forests, an extremely calm atmosphere, and the serenity of nature all around you. Why not go for a picnic with the family in the accommodating woods, or walk along the shores on the path for some exercise and fresh air. In the Summer, The Lake dries and and you can walk directly across it!(Beware of damp parts, those you will fall into) and in the Winter, thousands of flamingoes migrate to it and feed off the shrimp, offering a beautiful sight whether you are a bird lover or not.
