Charming little place! Beautiful setting, with some pretty impressive architecture. The old fortifications are majestic and the moorish town with its little streets and lovely buildings is worth the visit alone!

Just a short drive from the town, on the Kapda Peninsula you can find a wealth of ruins that almost boggles the mind! Kyra, Lydia and Lissia are the highlights, some truly great things to see here.

Fantastic! Such a crazy place, it's hard to imagine that this was one of the centres of world domination, although you can certainly tell it's large enough! Definitely a must-see.

I can't fathom how long ago 7000BC was, it seems crazy to me that people lived on this site then. With a bit of imagination (and the right guide) it can really all come to life though.

About half an hour drive from Larnaca but totally worth it

I'd been to the Bodrum Castle before but somehow missed this tower completely.. This tower is the final resting place of Queen Ada in 340 BC! Amazingly old and really interesting.
