Kamares Aqueduct
Καμάρες
A stone arched aqueduct built in 1747 by an Ottoman governor, with dozens of arches stretching across the western edge of town.
The aqueduct was funded by the governor Bekir Pasha to bring water into the town from about 10 km away. It remained in use until the 1930s. About 75 arches survive, making it one of Larnaca's most photogenic monuments, and it is lit up at night. It stands beside a road about 3 km west of the city centre. Entry is free. Visitors can drive or take a taxi there, and it works well combined with the salt lake and Hala Sultan Tekke as a half-day outing.
