Ancient aqueduct still mostly intact. Iconic view driving through Larnaca. There is a nice walk from here to the Salt Lake.

Built in 1746, this impressive aqueduct on the outskirts of town provided Larnaca's water supply until the 1930s. Once part of a complicated water engineering system that used a combination of tunnels as well to deliver water into the town, it was constructed under orders of the local Ottoman governor and styled on typical Roman era aqueducts. Today, the still sturdy 33 arches rambling across the green fields are an impressive sight. Come during the evening when the arches are lit up, or during the day, when sheep are grazed in the fields between the arches. You can get to the arches by hopping on any city bus that's heading in the direction of the K Cineplex. Address: Old Larnaca-Limassol Road

This beautiful 18th century aqueduct can be found on the road heading towards Lemesos (Limassol) in the area of Kamares, which takes its name from the distinctive arches (‘kamares’ in Greek).

The aqueduct was financed by Ebubekir Pasha who was the Ottoman Governor of Larnaca. The construction of the aqueduct commenced in 1747 and was completed in 1750. The structure was in operation until 1939 and consists of 75 arches. It is definitely worth visiting since it has been described as the most prominent water supply built in Cyprus. You must take a photo with the famous arches of Kamares aqueduct or watch the sunset through them, it is indeed a mesmerising scene. *Insider Tip: You can also walk along the 4 km nature trail right behind the aqueduct leading to the the famous Larnaca Salt Lake also giving visitors an amazing sight!
