€1 billion investment
for a new Larnaca cruise port, marina & hotels.
This will give Larnaca high recognition in the world of Cruising.
Along with Europe's new Larnaca cruise hub is a new
State of the Art Airport.
The new Larnaca airport will also be able to offer & handle more flights & transfers to greater worldwide
destinations than ever before.
This massive development to transform the port
of Larnaca into the Eastern Mediterranean's leading cruise centre and holiday destination Island.
Cyprus is the 3rd largest Mediterranean Island with
great coastlines, beautiful beaches to soak up approx 340 days of sunshine or choose a breath taking mountain excursion.
English is the second language in Cyprus & widely
spoken by the very accommodating & friendly Cypriot people. The tourism leisure industry also has a good understanding
of French & German languages.
The ambitious project aims to link the port and marina
with the famous & ever popular beautiful hub of Larnaca's Palm Tree (Phinikoudes) promenade. Already giving
us a ray of entertaining meeting places to eat & drink. Hotels overlooking sandy beaches with lovely sea views.
A paradise location to visit & enjoy.The development of new shops, restaurants and real-estate will add an
even greater choice to a new & exciting tourist friendly port centre.
According to "Off Radar" the weekly cruise,
ferry and shipping review, the chosen DBFO (design - build -finance - operate) will take Larnaca forward into a
new era, managing and operating the new cruise facility for the next 35 years. Coupled with the construction of
a new international airport just ten minutes away, the project will firmly place Larnaca at the Forefront of Cruise Tourism.
Running in parallel with the cruise port project
is the building of a new marina, 5-star hotels, leisure and retail development, all linked via a promenade to 'down
town' Larnaca and its beaches.
Cyprus Tourism and Business Services Ltd outlined
the port's plans to become a homeport for cruise ships and the area's cruise hub.
This home port serving the Eastern Mediterranean,
Greek Islands, Black Sea and the Holy Lands, with particular attraction to British, German and Cypriot cruise lines
& tour operators.
"Off Radar" report said details of the proposed development of the port are under wraps, although plans
include two modern cruise terminals & alongside berths for seven ships.
