Finikoudes - Palm Trees Promenade, Larnaca

The Palm Trees Promenade of Finikoudes is a 600 meter (about 1,968 foot) coastal pedestrian road lined with palm trees. The trees were planted along the length of the road to create a tropical atmosphere. The promenade provides a path to tourist spots, shopping, dining and nightlife.

The beach front of the Palm Trees Promenade is where visitors can find restaurants, bars and a great deal of entertainment. Tourists who wish to stop and enjoy the beach can rent sea beds and umbrellas just off of the promenade. There are several entries to the coastal front from the promenade.

Those who prefer shopping will find plenty of shops and boutiques on the opposite side of the promenade along Athens Avenue. At one end of the promenade is Larnaca Marina and the pier. At the other end is a statue of the lion dedicated to the twin cities of Larnaca and Venice. Beyond this is the Larnaca Fort and Medieval Museum.
