More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the marble quay into a morning that smells of diesel and salt—Larnaca Marina framed by low white buildings, fishermen sorting nets, and a boat that already hums with the promise of offshore discovery. The Odyssey slips away from the harbor with a practiced ease. In an hour the shore becomes a thin line; the first stop is the Zenobia, a cargo ferry now arrested beneath clear blue water, its steel ribs home to schools of fish and the occasional curious diver.
