Historical place & awesome view!

Larnaca Salt Lake is a complex network of four salt lakes of different sizes to the west of the city of Larnaca. The largest is lake Aliki, followed by lake Orphani, lake Soros and lake Spiro. They form the second largest salt lake in Cyprus after the Limassol Salt Lake. Besides its picturesque beauty, the lake is the haunt of 85 species of water-birds with estimated populations between 20,000–38,000. It is one of the important migratory passages through Cyprus. Among them are 2,000–12,000 flamingoes which spend the winter months there feeding off populations of the brine shrimp Artemia salina. A must visit place

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. It's easy to park, free of charge and it has a big open space. You can observe flamingos very easily from there, but they are quite shy birds, they won't come too close to the shore when you are there. But if you could be qiret and wait for a while, they would slowly come closer. Definitely a great place to get closer to nature! I highly recommend this spot!

It is an amazing lake full of salt. It is just amazing. The smell of waters is wonderful I recommend it. The nature is everywhere. The water is full of microorganisms and shrimps. But do not fool your self and think that those shrimps will be tasty on a grill. If you eat them you will turn pink just like the flamingos that roam the area. You can find flamingos when it starts to rain in Cyprus and the lake becomes full, which depends on the planes that spray our clouds every now and then. The best part is mosquitoes. 10 minutes near Larnaca you will be reminded of the existence of this salt lake as thousands near to millions of mosquitoes will drink every last drop of your blood while leaving you with an unbearable need to scratch the skin off your flesh. Otherwise 5/5 for the nice views

Pink flamingos 🦩 visit the lake in winter. When I visited in mid November there were 2 big groups. Should bring a good camera to get a good picture. However you can walk around and enjoy the views. Various parking around the lake.

Never seen anything like it. Like ice but in the middle of summer:) Check it out, recommended!

Beautiful lake. Easy to access and you can park close to Hala Sultan Teke. You cannot drive around it, but you can go for a walk. It's beautiful on a sunny day, with lots of wild life and picturesque views. There won't be shaded areas and places to rest or any services, so if you fancy hiking around, be prepared. Worth a visit.

You’ll have to walk quite a while but the landscape is worth it.

Salt lake, a lot of cats, Sultan Tekke, beautiful view-,that’s it!

Einen Ausflug wert, die Flamingos haben wir nicht gesehen, da wir abends dort waren :)

Nice place for a walk alongside the salt lake, where you can watch the flamingos and other water birds. Great view of the Hala Sultan Tekkesi - this place has a ridiculous number of cute cats, it must be their sanctuary. There is several benches throughout the path, ideal to contemplate those magnificent birds.

Beautiful place for a walk On Saturday there were no flamingos yet, on Sunday we met flamingos 😎

Amazing time of the year to visit the salt lake. Flamingos are visiting the lake during February to May. I suggest going at sunset.

(Translated by Google) In the second decade of November 2019, there were no flamingos on the lake ... (Original) В другій декаді листопада 2019 року фламінго на озері ще не було...

(Translated by Google) Nice observation of flamingos and when you are lucky, you can see them from a few meters (Original) Hezké pozorování plameňáků a když má člověk štěstí, tak je vidí i z pár metrů

Here you can see the breathtaking flamingos in the winter!!! But remember to wear a comfortable shoes cause you have to walk a long way here😆

I was lucky that the telescope lens is by my side. Extremely beautiful creatures!

We were here at the end of August and the lake was dried up and it was like a swamp. But it was fascinating seeing this white lake like it was covered in snow.

The Salt Lake in Larnaca is 30+ minutes walk from Larnaca's Finikoudes beach(tourist area). We had a good walk along the lake on our way to the historic Hala Sultan mosque and also stopped by the Salt Lake a few times for views across.

This is a nice place to just relax and if you are lucky, you find 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

A real disappointment. Visited mid June and there were no flamingos (not the season) and nothing special to see. Looked just like any regular beach.

Beautiful natural masterpiece! There is a lovely bike/hiking path around the lake that offers amazing views over the lake, and even simply viewing it from the various observation points is a must when in Larnaca.

That was really hard to see flamingos with naked eyes. Bring some optics with you if you want to see.

I visited it in November, and there were no birds, no water. Just a mud and salt. Large area covered by mud and salt. The guide said in winter there will be a lot of flamingo and water. It is located near Hala Sultan mosque.

Lovely place to visit. Went October when you can walk out onto the salt. Will be going back when the rain falls and the flamingos 🦩 are back. There is a walk all the way round the loch. Nice picnic area and ice cream van depending when you’re there

On a rainy day we had the opportunity to see those wonderful flamingos. What a relaxing feeling..

What a lovely view, don't you think :)

Located close to Larnaca Airport. Actually, there is a combination of four salt lakes there. This is a Special Protection Area under the Law of European program Natura 2000. A space for water-birds. Especially, you may see flamingos from a short distance (but not to nearly close). If you want, you make put on water shoes and take a walk. Local road B 4 leading there. You can leave your car by the roadside. There is a lot of space. I visited Larnaca Salt Lake oin November 2018.

Larnaca salt lake is a complex network for salt lakes of different sizes to the west of the city Larnaca. The largest is Lake Aliki. The Total surface area of the lakes add up to 2.2 sq km. Being just off the road leading to Larnaca international Airport is 1 of most distinctive Landmarks of the area.

(Translated by Google) There was no flamingo .. people say that they flew away. If the lake is filled with water, they return .. (Original) Фламинго не было.. говорят жители что улетели. Если озеро наполнят водой то они возвращаются ..

The surroundings were clean. Idle for the sunset view. We had been here to see the Flamingos. Walking trails, benches, it well maintained.

We visited in the summer, very little water and wildlife, would imagine it is a site to behold when full and there are birds there.

The water already comes back and today we were already able to see some flamingos, they were in the middle of the lake and not super close. But they were there and we were able to here their sounds. It's so cool when they start flying. It is a really nice place to watch the flamingos and also other birds. The mot is a little bit slippy and also stinky, but this was not too bad. I had a really good time there 😊☀️

Flamingo will come back soon visited 24june2022 , walking distance near mckenzy beach and going back to San Remo Hotel

We were lucky to have a bit of sun during a rainy day and flamigo's real close by the shore

(Translated by Google) At first, I thought I'd see hundreds of flamingos there in the winter, take photos like everywhere in Google images :) However, the lake is huge in size and all the birds are somewhere in the middle and can only be seen as a pink spot from afar. And the lake is just like a swamp :( (Original) Спочатку я думала, що побачу там взимку сотні фламінго, зроблю фото, такі як всюди в зображеннях Google :) Проте озеро величезних розмірів і всі птахи десь посередині і їх видно лише як рожеву пляму здалеку. Та і озеро саме, як болото :(

Beautiful landscape to visit, especially in winter when the flamingos are there. In the summer, the lake is mostly dry, and you can see salt residues which remain around the space the lake occupies

A lovely spot to walk, picnic, or just spend time in nature!

If you like a flat nature walk, this is perfect. We started at Lazarus place and walked down to the Teke. Takes roughly 3 hours. Maybe too hot for summer but ideal on a sunny January day.

A must see in autumn/winter. You can cross the lake using the rocks in the middle as a pointer for depth and the flamingos are a beauty to behold. As soon as the mosque appears on the horizon, otherwordly sensations kick in.

Very nice place and we could see flamingoes

It is a beautiful and quiet place to watch the sunset with flamingos. There is a parking place. You can skate there or ride a bike, or just take a walk.

Schöner und ruhiger Ort. In 2023 konnten wir bis im März Flamingos in realtiv grossen Zahlen sehen (siehe ein Schwarm im Video).

Wenn man in der Nähe des Flughafens ist, sollte man sich auf jedenfall ansehen. Sehr tiefer Salzsee, das man gut drauf gehen kann. Wenn man Glück hat, kann man sogar Flamingos beobachten ( haben wir leider verpasst, waren nur noch Fussspuren da). Man kann denn See auch gut riechen, da es einen unvergesslichen Gestank hinterlässt.

If you love flamingo you should visit in summer time and you will see a lot of Flamingo in this Lake. Nothing is special... there is no restaurant no hotel but if you love natural then you should go and visit..

Beim Vorbeifahren sieht man einige Flamingos. Sitzgelegenheiten laden zum Verweilen ein. Sehr zu empfehlen. Parktaschen sind in der Nähe. Befindet sich unmittelbar am Flughafen Larnaka, Lärmbelästigung nicht vorhanden.

The lake was dry, but the view of moschee and dried salt was amazing

A great place for birding during spring migration.

Not far away from the airport there is the salt lake of Larnaca, you can see the flamingo 🦩 enjoying the salt, there's a walking path along the salt lake, you can stop, look at flamingos and have a great time while you explore Larnaca, there are branches along and you can stop and just relax while you look at the flamingo in the salt lake.

Really cool

Large lake.. The flamingos are sooo far because it is not the good season to see

We saw some wild flamingos from a distance which was great but the signage wasn’t great as you are not sure if certain paths or parts are accessible or not. Very pretty vegetation all round. Worth a visit if you like walking!

Salt is everywhere. White and pink

Went there to really see Flamingos. They were too far. But the areas surrounding it are great

(Translated by Google) A strange place but there is a flamingo (Original) Странное место, но есть фламинго

(Translated by Google) Interesting place. I was at the end of January and there were plenty of flamingos, whole flocks. (Original) Ciekawe miejsce. Byłam pod koniec stycznia i flamingów było mnóstwo, całe stada.

(Translated by Google) Extraordinary beauty! A piece of the salt lake was taken home😄for memory😉 (Original) Необычайная красота!Кусочек соленого озера увезла домой😄на память😉

(Translated by Google) Flamingos are cool (Original) Flamingi są fajne

(Translated by Google) A magnificent indescribable sight: hundreds of flamingos in their natural habitat. It’s just breathtaking! Photos from the phone are not able to convey the number of birds and their pink unrealistic color. Definitely worth a trip, walk along the lake and admire these wonderful birds. (Original) Великолепное непередаваемое зрелище: сотни фламинго в естественной среде обитания. Просто дух захватывает! Фото с телефона не в состоянии передать количество птиц и их розовый нереальный цвет. Однозначно стоит того, чтобы съездить, пройтись вдоль озера и полюбоваться этими чудесными птицами.

(Translated by Google) Nothing to see Or a lot of cats that have eaten everything. Too bad for the birds. The guide was wrong, there are still the feathers ... (Original) Rien à voir Ou beaucoup de chats qui ont tout mangé. Tans pis pour les oiseaux. Le guide s'est trompé, il reste les plumes...

Very nice place to visit. I was excited about the nature, birds and the lake exactly. Only two points what I take as negative. First is, that is garbage dump close to lake and second point that I wanted to make walk around all the lake but there is no possibility to make it. Its possible to walk just close to road but opposite side is not available for cycling, running or just walking somebody wants to walk around whole lake like me.

Amazing location, especially as we managed to catch a glimpse of the flamingos.

What a view amazing especially on sunset shine hot night to seat on a romantic night. 😘😘🤗🤗

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in Cyprus! (Original) Одно из самых красивых мест на Кипре!

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Strange place). It looks a little like the usual tourist routes. There are practically no people ... empty and uncomfortable.   Were on November 8th. There was water in the lake. In the distance, perhaps, flamingos swam ...   At the beginning of the path stood a lonely painted van in which a friendly Cypriot sold ice cream and sweets.   I think that in summer and autumn, tourists have nothing to do in this place. Winter was not, I think it would be more fun) (Original) Странное место). Мало похоже на привычные туристические маршруты. Людей, практически, нет... пусто и неуютно. Были 8 ноября. В озере вода была. Вдалеке, возможно, плавали фламинго... В начале тропинке стоял одинокий разрисованный фургончик, в котором приветливый киприот продавал мороженое и сладости. Думаю, что летом и осенью в этом месте туристам нечего делать. Зимой не была, думаю, было бы веселее )

(Translated by Google) Perfect (Original) Τέλεια

(Translated by Google) Basa, there were no flamingos (Original) באסה, לא היו פלמינגו

Interesting place

Good place..

(Translated by Google) It's beautiful. (Original) Es bello.

Interesting place with a mosque view. In September it was completely dry. However, it's a nice place to visit even during that time.

(Translated by Google) You can really see flamingos ... No different. (Original) Tak na prawdę widać flamingi ... Nie inaczej .

Really not good idea to walk across this lake in the night.

Interesting place nice for photo

Good place to visit

(Translated by Google) The territory is arranged, but in moderation, not too much. Flamingos were all far away, I was offended by them. (Original) Территория устроена, но в меру, не слишком. Фламинго все были далеко, я на них обиделась.

(Translated by Google) Not bad (Original) Очень неплохо

Flamingos were in the distance and unfortunately only had my camera phone on me to take pictures.

Larnaca would just not be the same without its salt lake! Make sure you make it for the sunset (best viewed from the East).

If I happen to be in Larnaca I always visit the lake multiple times.
