Stavros StavrouPresident of Larnaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry

From the EditorWe are delighted to welcome you to Lar-naka, one of the world’s oldest continu-ously inhabited cities! As such, Larnaka is abundant in historic and archaeological places, museums and ancient places of faith. But behind the well-known attractions, Larnaka’s narrow streets are filled with hidden gems. This booklet, which is issued for the twentieth consecutive year, aims to assist you in discov-ering Larnaka “behind the scenes”. Recommendations on new points of interest, events which will entertain you and get you acquainted with the Cypriot culture and of course, valuable tips from the locals.

Every piece of Larnaka offers something special and we want to show it to our esteemed visitors. What I personally love about Larnaka is the fact that it has the atmosphere of a small city and the convenience of a metropolitan area. Larnaka has qualities that distinguish the region from other holiday resorts. You can rarely find a place which combines historic attractions, the commercial centre, cosmopolitan promenades and blue-flag awarded beaches together with numerous activities, all within a short distance. So, Larna-ka’s compact size is what makes the destination special, to-gether with other characteristics which can be revealed by reading this edition.

The Larnaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry wishes you a memorable holiday! Make sure that when you de-part, your suitcase is filled with memories, nice feelings, new tastes, the stories of the locals and most of all, spiritual rejuvenation.

THE BIENNALE IN LARNAKA

Cyprus’ first ever Biennale is currently taking place in Larnaka until the 30th of November. This event features a plethora of art and photography exhibitions, along with a calendar of premi-um performances for a rich cultural autumn.

The theme for the Biennale is ‘Container-Content’, which cura-tor Vassilis Vasiliades elaborates upon: “In reality, space is a con-tainer and content simultaneously, and what defines one form or another is the way we realise it as individuals.” The main exhi-bition spaces hosting the submitted and selected art and pho-tography works by artists from Cyprus and abroad are Larnaka Municipal Art Gallery, Pierides Museum, and Myth Factory. The parallel cultural calendar features a variety of concerts, plays and other performances.

The event also features four awards with the winners selected by the Biennial Jury. The Grand Prix award comes with a €2000 prize, and three runners-up will receive distinctions.
