If you discover chunks of salt emerging from the earth, you may be at Larnaka Salt Lake. This spot serves as a migration point for pink flamingos, and it's home to Hala Sultan Tekke Mosque. Here you'll find a crystal-clear lake reflecting an image of one of the holiest shrines of Ottoman Islam surrounded by palm trees and flamingos--a common image at the site. Stretching across 1,585 hectares (3,920 acres) of scrubland, the lake hosts over 80 species of birds. The lake used to provide vast amounts of salt to the locals. During the dry months now, the entire place turns into a mixture of gray dust and piles of crusted salt.

  In summer, the lake consists of salt, there is almost no water in it (if you press your foot it breaks through the cracks). The view is amazing as it got to another planet. In winter, flamingos come here. The lake turns pink from the birds. For me, the place remained the main attraction of the city.

  Beautiful lake, flamingos started to come in, good to go in the morning or at the sunset to see largest group of birds. Best solution to visit is on the bike.  more »

  If you love flamingo you should visit in summer time and you will see a lot of Flamingo in this Lake. Nothing is special... there is no restaurant no hotel but if you love natural then you should go and visit..
