Larnaca Salt Lake
About 7 km (4 miles) southwest of Larnaca, near the airport, is the 2.2-sq. km Larnaca salt lake. It is a complex system of four main lakes: the main salt lake Alyki, Orphani, Soros, and the small Spiro lake. In winter it is a refuge for migrating birds, especially flamingoes, and in summer it dries up with salt deposits. Though you can't walk on the lake itself, there are plenty of nature trails and picnic spots around it.
