The latest ‘Virtual Larnaka’ additions take you on a journey through mountainous honey villages… and back in time to discover the region’s rich, religious history.

Larnaka Honey Villages

The popular cluster of beekeeping and honey producing villages that are collectively branded as ‘Rural Larnaka Honey Villages’ can now be toured virtually, from themed nature trails and parks, to beekeeping experiences, crafts and exhibits. You can immerse yourself in the charm of the villages at home, or use the platform as a virtual tour guide when exploring them first-hand.

The nine villages don’t just buzz with tradition; they also offer elevated views of stunning mountainous landscape, as well as unique, traditional architecture, which is showcased on the platform. Start your tour now!

Agia Eleni and the Holy Cross in Cyprus

The significant religious history of Agia Eleni (Saint Helena); mother of Emperor Constantine the Great, and her arrival on the island is now captured with a virtual tour of the areas in Larnaka that the Royal Mother visited, and the churches that were founded with the piece of the Holy Cross that she left at each site.

As well as interesting facts about her journey, you can also explore the churches of the area, including their interiors and artefacts. Start the tour here.

Virtual Reconstruction of Agios Athanasios Church

The church of Agios (Saint) Athanasios Pentaschoinitis in Agios Theodoros has been brought to life as part of the Virtual Reconstructions of Larnaka Region Archaeological Sites.

Agios Athanasios was a 7^th century saint whose place of burial became a sacred place of great miracles. A church was built on the site in the 8th century, and the video shows the evolution of the basilica ruins, the Saint’s crypt, and the renovated upper structure that was completed this year. 

It is the fourth virtual reconstruction following the Ancient Port of Kition, Kalavasos-Tenta Archaeological Site and the Church of the Holy Cross, Tochni.

The video will be uploaded by the end of the year.
