Undoubtedly, if you’re thinking about remote worker life in Larnaca you definitely have beautiful Mediterranean beaches in mind. You will not be disappointed here! Set along a beautiful stretch of Cypriot coastline, Larnaca offers numerous picturesque beaches for all tastes. Finikoudes Beach is probably the most famous in Larnaca, with stretches of white sands and all amenities on offer for a spectacular beach day. Along the Finikoudes promenade you’ll find lots of restaurants and nightlife venues too! Mackenzie Beach, like Finikoudes, is hugely popular but has a slightly less touristic and much younger vibe. During the summer, it is recommended you avoid Finikoudes, since it gets packed with British and Turkish tourists.
Beyond its vibrant beach scene, one of the things that makes remote worker life in Larnaca so attractive is its affordability. A slick, modern apartment located along the beaches will cost you on average around 650EUR per month, and a good local lunch can cost less than 7EUR. Furthermore, the city is extremely walkable meaning you are bound to save some money on transport within Larnaca itself. The city has excellent coffee-shops, making it easy to manage without a co-working space here, and infrastructure across town is good enough to make remote worker life in Larnaca comfortable and affordable.
Remote workers in Larnaca will also appreciate the city’s generally slow pace. Things here are calm, quiet and relaxed. This is precisely why the island also enjoys such a robust coffee culture! With lots of incredible coffeehouses around the main beach neighborhoods, Cyprus’ love for good coffee and relaxed conversation with friends is clearly visible. This is perfect for remote workers who enjoy getting some work done in a quiet cafe without having to worry about the bustle common in fast-paced cities.
Cyprus’ beaches, affordability and its passion for coffee make Larnaca one of the best places to live as a remote worker. Its food, however, make it one of our favorite destinations by far! In Larnaca, you’ll try Souvlakia, grilled halloumi, Shaftalia and Afella -- all quintessentially Cypriot dishes, exemplifying the best of Mediterranean cuisine. If you prefer vegan or vegetarian options, you’ll find incredible non-meat Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean options readily available in almost every restaurant.
On the whole, remote worker life in Larnaca is exciting, vibrant and comfortable. To enjoy your time here the most, we recommend avoiding busy summer months and renting close to the beaches. Being an active part of the many available remote worker communities here is also a great idea!
