Larnaca International Airport is the largest airport in Cyprus and is located approximately 4 km south-west of Larnaca city. Originally intended as a temporary solution following the Turkish invasion in 1974, the airport quickly developed into the island's main hub. Today, the airport welcomes around 8 million passengers annually and serves as the gateway to the island's popular seaside resorts and cultural attractions. The airport is also particularly known for its proximity to the Larnaca Salt Lake, where flamingos can often be observed in winter.
