Geocache Description:

A very popular spot overlooking Larnaca Castle on Finikoudes.

One of three caches placed for the 10 Years! Larnaca, Cyprus event cache.



A quick cache and dash (depending on muggles) on the newly restored pier which provides good views towards both Mackenzie area and the marina.

Nearby is Larnaca Castle which was built in 1625 and originally served as a prison. The promenade walls within the castle provide good views of the Scala Quarter (formerly one of Larnaca's Turkish neighbourhoods) with its Buyuk Kebir Cami (mosque). Today the castle houses an impressive archaeological museum, built like a labyrinth and dedicated to ancient Kition and later periods. During the summer the castle doubles as the Larnaca Municipal Cultural Centre.

This is a magnetic cache containing just a log sheet, so please bring your own pen/pencil.
