Accommodation in Cyprus / Cyprus Airport Transfers
We have been going to Larnaca on holioday for the last twenty five years and I have done a review for your guide on a coupleof restaurants in Larnaca. We are due to go back again in a few months time. Just wondered if you vould let me know how the coastal road renovations are getting on in Larnaca the ones that are going on right along the sea front to Mackenzie Beach.
Many Thanks
Sandra.
Hi Sandra – I remember your Larnaca restaurant reviews and am sure many people enjoyed reading them. The reconstruction of the old Piale Pasha sea road in Larnaca is expected to take 18 months so I don’t think it will be finished this year.
