For many, Larnaca is the gateway to Cyprus. With more than 75 thousand inhabitants, this city is the third most populated on the island. So why is it said to be the gateway to Cyprus? Basically, because it has the largest airport, located a few minutes south of the city. There, regional and international flights land and take off to Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Larnaca's salt lake is one of the most beautiful in Cyprus. It is part of a network of four salty lakes (three of them interconnected) of different sizes. The largest lake is Lake Aliki, followed by Orphani, Soros, and Spiro. Between all of them, and due to their size, they form the second largest salt lake on the island. It is considered one of the most important wetlands in the country and has been declared a Natura 2000 site and special protection area under the Barcelona Convention. It is surrounded by halophytic shrub vegetation and is visited seasonally by different birds.

Lazarus resurrection is probably one of the most important events in the miracles performed by Jesus. As is known, Lazarus and his sisters lived in Bethany and received Jesus in his house, whenever this was possible. This friendship relationship was then key to the miracle in question, synonymous with resurrection to this day.
