								Larnaca is an excellent location to host 
								international scientific conferences. The town 
								is large enough to give everything one may need 
								but still is not overcrowded especially at its 
								beautiful beaches which extend for 25 
								kilometres. The archaeological 
								 sites and its six museums are in 
								the centre of the city within walking distance. Summer sports, sea activities and cruises are 
								readily available. The shops are well stocked, 
								medical care is excellent, its cinemas are 
								screening films simultaneously with the cinemas of 
								rest of Europe and the USA. The variety of 
								restaurants, tavernas, cafeterias and bars is 
								very great. The Cyprus "meze" is the food 
								specialty of the town. Night life is interesting 
								and security in the streets unsurpassed. 
								Cultural life is rich and many events are 
								organized by the town's Municipality almost 
								daily. 
								  
								Because of the mild climate in the winter and 
								the genuine hospitality of the local people, Larnaca enjoys tourism at very high occupancy 
								rates all the year round. Larnaca with its wider 
								area has nearly 10.000 hotel beds, about 10% of the 
								total all island tourist capacity. Along the 
								Larnaca bay there are luxurious beach hotels as 
								well as hotel and holiday apartments of 
								very high standard, at considerably lower rates 
								than the hotel rates at other places of the country. Larnaca, 
								being 
								situated in 
								small distance from other 
								towns and tourist places, is the ideal base 
								for 
								exploring the island. The Larnaca International 
								Airport, although it lies just a few kilometres from the centre of 
								the town, the town itself is completely 
								outside of the cone of landing and departing 
								aircrafts.
