The Municipality of Larnaca and the town’s Tourist Development and Promotion Company have welcomed the addition of a new route by EasyJet, from Milan to Larnaca, as well as the docking of cruise ships from Israel at Larnaca Port.
In a written statement, the Company notes that the two direct flights per week from Milan will be added as of March 27, a development which opens new prospects for the increase of tourism from Italy to Larnaca and Cyprus in general.
New flights are also expected from Eastern Europe, as a result of efforts by Hermes Airports to attract new airlines.
Furthermore, cruise ships from Israel will be docking at Larnaca Port, from the end of March till the end of October, on a weekly basis, with some overnight stays in Larnaca.
“In these very trying times we are going through, it is expected that tourism will help to a great extent in supporting the local economy, and that is why special emphasis should be given to this sector by the state and all involved parties,” the statement reads.
