Larnaca : Profile

Location

This laid-back town is a mixture of the very old and a modern tourist resort. It lies towards the eastern end of Cyprus' southern coast.

Clearance

All the authorities are based at the marina.

Yachts must call "Larnaca Marina" on VHF Ch16; the working channel is 8.

Crew must remain on board until clearance is granted. Clearance is completed with the Marine Police, Customs and Immigration and, sometimes, the Health Inspector.

If arriving after 14:00 hrs or at the weekend, you may be charged an overtime fee.

Docking

The marina here is to the east of the commercial harbour and generally provides good shelter, although the outer basin can be uncomfortable in E to NE winds.

Larnica is a popular over-wintering stop for many yachts therefore advance reservations are recommended.
