Phinikoudes Beach, Larnaca, Cyprus


Phinikoudes is the most famous beach in Larnaca, Cyprus. Phinikoudes means small palm trees (now grown into very big palm trees) that were planted in 1922.

Phinikoudes beach is in the centre of Larnaca and is lined with cafes, restaurants and bars where you can sit and enjoy the sun. The beach is sandy and the waters are shallow so perfect for children.

There's lots to do for all the family at Phinikoudes Beach. If you get bored there is a small fun park for young children, arcades and watersports for the more adventurous. Sunbeds and umbrellas are also available. As busy as Phinikoudes beach sounds, it is still relatively laid back.

There is also a marina to the north of beach with various sea boat tours available and also diving.
