Ćao ljudi! Poznato vam je da smo na Kipru. Ok, jasno je da celo ostrvo možete da pređete lako uz pomoć automobila. Mi smo ovde da vam otkrijemo alternativne načine za obilazak. Ostrvo ima dosta toga da ponudi. Najbitnije je da nađete ono što se vama dopada i ono što želite da istražite i da krenete ka tome.
Dakle, odlučili smo da biciklovima obiđemo najviše što možemo, tj. koliko nam uslovi dozvoljavaju. Početna tačka – TVRĐAVA. Kako ovde ima mnogo turista koji dolaze iz skoro svih krajeva sveta, morate biti svesni da nisu svi vični vožnji levom stranom. Dakle, prvo i osnovno, morate da vozite levom stranom i puta i biciklističke staze. Što se tiče biciklističke staze one postoje i manje više su ok. Ovde je to staza koja vodi pored morske obale. Ako želite da uđete dublje u grad vozićete ulicama, jer su pešačke staze uske i za pešake. Pazite se jednosmernih ulica. Do Slanog jezera možete stići tako što ćete preći auto put koji je obilaznica od aerodroma do centra grada. Kada se odvojite od mora, kako nema biciklističke staze moraćete da vozite stazom za pešake. Tu vam problem mogu stvarati razne palme, od kojih se neke šire čak i do autoputa.
Ako želite da istražite Mekenzi plažu i okolinu, bicikle su super izbor. Možete da se vozikate koliko želite. Samo je bitno da se pazite Sunca. Mi smo išli u obilazak Larnake biciklovima kada nije bilo preterano toplo. Duvao je slab vetar i pesak (peščana oluja) je još uvek malo zaklanjao Sunce. Od Mekenzi plaže možete da stignete do aerodroma i dalju vožnju ne možemo da vam preporučimo jer nije obezbeđeno za bicikliste. Na suprotnu stranu od Mekenzi plaže krenuli smo duž obale ka autobuskoj stanici. Na tom putu naišli smo na LIDL, koji je daleko od tvrđave oko 2km. Nastavili smo dalje ali od mora su nas non stop delila razna industrijska postrojenja. Bilo je neizdrživo toplo. Zaključili smo da nema svrhe ići dalje od LIDLa jer su plaže sve iste – peščane. Dakle, u Larnaki ne postoje divlje plaže kao u Aja Napi, ali o tome nekom drugom prilikom.
Najveći plićak je ispred tvrđave – raj za malu decu. Nama se najviše dopao deo Mekenzi plaže kod Flamingos hotela, jer nije bilo puno ljudi a brže se stigne do dubine za plivanje i ronjenje. Na šetalištu od tvrđave do Mekenzi plaže postoji jedan mali deo gde je sitno kamenje u vodi.
Bicikle uvek imate gde da vežete i ostavite i nije potrebno da posebno razmišljate o njima, jer ih mnogi iznajmljuju. Naš savet vam je da kod sebe uvek imate vodu, naočare za Sunce, kremu za Sunce, nešto za grickanje i KONDICIJU. Znamenitosti i interesantna mesta grada obiđite pešaka, pričaćemo vam o tome u nekom drugom postu, a do tada pogledajte naš VLOG 🙂

Hey travel lovers! You already know that we are exploring Cyprus! It is obviously that you can see a lot by car, but we are here to explore for you the way to see island without usiing cars and motors! This island has a lot to offer. The most important thing is to find what you like the most about it and star to explore it!
So, we decided to travel around bz bikes as much as we can,actually how much conditions allow. The starting point – FORTRESS. As there are a lot of tourists who come from almost all over the world, you have to be aware that not everyone is accustomed to drive on the left side of road. So, first and foremost, you have to drive left on the road and mountain bike trails. As regards bicycle routes they exist and are more or less okay. Here is the bike road that leads by the coastline. If you want to enter more deeply into the city you will need to ride on the streets, because they are a tight walkways for pedestrians and there is no bike trails. Beware of one-way streets. Salt Lake can be reached by going highway detours that leads from the airport to the city center. When you disconnect from the sea, there was no bike paths and you will have to drive a path for pedestrians. There you can create a variety of problems such as palms, some of which are spread even to the motorway.
If you want to explore the Mackenzie beach and surrounding areas, bicycles are great choices. You can drive around as you like. Only it is important to make sure that you are protected from the sun. We went on a tour of Larnaca by bikes when it was not too warm. The wind was weak and sand (sand storm) was still covering the sun. From Mackenzie beach you can reach the airport and we can not recommend you to drive further because the road is not provided for cyclists. On the opposite side of the Mackenzie beach we went along the coast to the city bus station On the way we came across LIDL, which is far from the fort around 2km. We continued on, but there are lots of various industrial plants between road and sea. It was unbearably hot, because of that. We concluded that there is no point to go further than Lidl, because the beaches are all the same – sand So, Larnaca does not have any wild beaches as Ayia Napa, but about it another occasion.
The greatest shallow spot is in front of the fortress – a paradise for young children We liked part of Mackenzie beach at Flamingos hotel, because there were not a lot of people and you can faster reach the depth for swimming and snorkeling On the promenade of the fortress to Makenzie beach there is one small part where was small rocks in the water.
Bicycles always have a place to tie and leave and do not need to specifically thinking about them because many of tourists are using it. Our advice is to always have with you water, sunglasses, sunscreen, something to chew and fitness condition. Sights and interesting places iside the city try to visit on foot, we’ll talk about that in another post, but until then check our VLOG 🙂
