Plans to upgrade visitor facilities in Larnaca outlined

Plans to improve visitor facilities in Larnaca in Cyprus have been outlined by new mayor Andreas Vyras.

Work is underway following the award of an €18 million EU grant last year.

The developments include a €5.5 million new municipal market incorporating a two-storey building with bazaars of traditional produce and products, and a section for young, emerging artisans, along with cafes, restaurants and an exhibition space.

Other projects include renovations to a municipal sports centre; hop-on-hop-off buses that will be accessible for disabled people; squares and paving in areas of the town centre and old town; increased cycle lanes and car parking, and an overhaul of  municipal gardens.

The work will follow recent improvements to the seafront promenade and a two-mile stretch between Larnaca’s medieval castle and McKenzie Beach.

Hoteliers are also investing in upgrading facilities, including the long-established, 228-room Palm Beach Hotel & Bungalows located just outside Larnaca, which has undergone three winter seasons of extensive refurbishment.
