Making halloumi in the village of Tochni
half day (± 3 hours)
All Cyprus regions
Larnaka, Tochni & Kalavasos
From Larnaka's salt lake and old town to village stays and agrotourism in the heart of Cyprus.
Many travellers know Larnaka only from the airport, but the region deserves more time. The old town and salt lake combine well with a stay in Tochni or Kalavasos, where stone village houses and small-scale activities set the pace.
Why stay here
The central position puts coast, villages and archaeological sites within reach without long travel days. It is a comfortable first or final base and suits travellers who prefer living locally to staying in a large resort.
Niki's view
Do not drive straight on after landing. A gentle start with Larnaka, Lefkara and a village meal or workshop introduces the Cyprus beyond the beaches from the first day.
