Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Larnaka is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Its palm-lined Finikoudes promenade runs along the sea, while the Byzantine Church of Saint Lazarus, the medieval fort and the Salt Lake with the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque reveal layers of history and culture.

For WOFA participants, Larnaka offers sunshine, Mediterranean warmth and an easy-going festival atmosphere. Groups can perform by the sea and explore an island where Greek, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman influences meet.
