About
Larnaca Salt Lake is a beautiful complex of four salt lakes that serves as one of the most important wetlands in Cyprus. During the winter months, the lake fills with water and becomes a haven for thousands of migrating pink flamingos and other water birds. In the summer, the water evaporates, leaving a shimmering crust of pure white salt.
