Alkisti City

Larnaka


This small hotel, above (and run by) a real-estate office, is set inside a traditional 19th-century stone house. The compact rooms have modern furnishings and are comfortably set up, and there’s a grassy courtyard for sunbathing. Situated just across from Agios Lazaros, the location is perfect. Reception isn’t staffed 24/7, so this will suit the more independent traveller.
