Located close to the airport and somewhat removed from the heart of the city, the Mackenzie Beach area is a favorite among remote workers in Larnaca.

The beach itself is pleasant, warm and lively with lots of amenities for all budgets and tastes.

It may be possible to find some affordable accommodation here through AirBnB but since this is one of the very best neighborhoods for remote workers in Larnaca, expect some higher rates.
The Finikoudes Beach area contains the heart of Larnaca. Here you will find most of the city’s museums, as well as some great local markets and most useful amenities including currency exchange and supermarkets. Since it is so central, accommodation here will be more expensive and the area houses mostly luxury vacation rentals. Finikoudes’ central location, amenities and proximity to a calm and wonderful beach makes it one of the best neighborhoods for remote workers in Larnaca.
Just west of the center of the city at Finikoudes, the Stadiou neighborhood surrounds the Old GSZ Stadium and is still super close to the beach and the cultural attractions in the center of town. On the whole, this is one of the best neighborhoods for remote workers in Larnaca because it feels more livable and less touristic - the area has good access to authentic restaurants, coffee-shops, local nightlife and affordable supermarkets.

Located right in between the central neighborhoods and Mackenzie, Skala is the best neighborhood for remote workers looking to soak up the culture of this peculiar island. The neighborhood is located within the Turkish Cypriot quarter of the city and accommodation here is characterized mainly by two-story homes, meaning affordable options will be available here. There is no beach as such in this sea-front neighborhood, but in Larnaca you are always just a short walk away from them - about 10-15 minute from the main Finikoudes and Mackenzie beaches. Skala offers up authentic cafes and some great restaurants along its quiet, narrow streets.
