A Hotel
by canuckmike about Sun Hall Hotel
The Sun Hall Hotel is located in Larnaca along the Mediterranean Sea coast. It has a 4 star rating and apartments for those of you staying a while. I got to stay here for free so that's why I stayed here. For a 4 star hotel I found it not to be in the best condition. The lobby was nice and so was the restaurant but I found the rooms to be rather plain and slightly run down. It has a nice size pool that is private from the outside which is nice and the location is great as it is along the main promenade with close access to all sorts of tourist sevices. From what I saw all the hotel rooms had balconies which gave nice views as long as you were facing south and the east facing rooms had decent views.
LARNACA LOCAL & INTERCITY BUS NUMBER AND PHONES
by greekcypriot
Being a Cypriot and from Larnaca but living in Greece, I face the problem of transport because in Greece we drive on the opposite side of the road. So I also have to use as much as possible the Local buses.
You can surely take the bus from Finikoudes (Palm Tree Avenue) that will take you to Ayia Napa and Protaras.(Intercity Buses Tel: 246 43493 or 24722700). The sad thing is that you have to get back to Larnaca again and the last bus as far as I remember returns at 4.30pm.
If you wish to travel there buy a two way ticket it costs a bit less. From what I remember there are no buses on Sundays, but probably depending on the traffic they have they might have one or two. This depends, so the best thing to do is to call and find out. Tel No. 23721321
Now to go to Lefkara there is a bus that leaves early in the morning, but there is not a bus to bring you back so you have to stay overnight and this is very frustrating.(Lefkara bus -99646598
Larnaca - Nicosia (Intercity buses - 246 43493 - 24722700)
Larnaca - Limasol (the same phone, and the bus leaves from Finikoudes)
Larnaca - Paralimni Protaras PEA Bus & Co. 23821318 (Opposite Police Station)
Makarios Avenue....all year round.
Kiti village and Perivolia bus No. 6 + 10 from Ayios Lazaros Square
(Tel: 246 57466 50477)
Larnaca Airport Bus No. 22 + 24 from the seafront
For Paphos I recommend taking a shared taxi. Tel: 26933181 and the office is at 8, Evagora Pallikaridi Street.
There is the Larnaca Tourist Beach bus No. 18 that starts from Sun Hall Hotel
and you can call at 24650477 or 57466. This is more frequent - every hour - so you can go there and whenever it suits you, you get off and get to the beach, enjoy your day out, and then get back to the same stop and wait for the bus to take you to the centre. You can also visit the village of Oroklini, or Voroklini and come back to Larnaca which is situated in the suburbs just 10 minutes from Larnaca. There is a Sunday bazaar called (pazaraki) by Cypriots and you can spend some time there too.Bus No.8 (Kalogera Street).Tel: 24650477 or 57466.
Buses for the other villages or cities like Nicosia leave from the bus station which is opposite the old Hospital in Larnaca, next to the Aglican Church.
You cannot miss it.
I suggest that if you wish to go to the mountains you can get to any hotel nearby and ask at the reception and the people there will arrange for you to be taken with other tourists to different places. This is the only alternative you can do.
I hope this information is helpful.

What to do ?
by dudes_71
Hi all, I will be in Larnaca for 4 days and in Nicosia for 3 days starting 23rd July and as usual I have a few questions.
- What hotel would you recommend with good service in Larnaca (we are 2 adults and 2 children under 4 Years)
- What would you recommend we do with the children apart from the beach and pool ?
- What family restaurants are good and what do you recommend ?
- What clothing stores or shops are available in Larnaca ?
Thanks guys, appreciate your help on this.
Cheers

In Larnaka City Center are only one 4* Sun Hall Hotel and 3* Flamingo Beach Hotel and many smaler hotels and appartments. Both of them are ok. Flamingo is litle cheaper and also offers free use of internet. With children i can recomend waterpark in ayia napa(25 minutes drive)or donkey riding in oroclini vilage(10 minutes drive), Lunapark in Aradipou(5 minuts drive), Camel Park in Mazotos(15 minuts drive). Restaurants and shops will surprice you , because they are much cheaper than in uk, and if you will order MEZE for your meal you will need at least one day to rest from the food.(they will bring you 20 different playts)
