2 Project Description Larnaca Larnaca has a service dominated local economy which relies mainly on tourism, warehouse, logistics and the International Airport. There are many plans to regenerate the city, with the most recent being the temporary use of its port as the main hub for the oil and gas exploration vessels Larnaca’s seaport is the second largest in the free part of Cyprus Because of its proximity to the coast it attracts many tourists and has numerous overseas residents who have acquired holiday homes in the district

The city is well-known for its picturesque sea-front which includes rows of palm trees. Much of the activity is centred on the city promenade during the major festivals. The City is divided into two parts namely, an older city centre and a chain of hotels and restaurants along the beach, known as the ‘Phinikoudes’

Legislation dictates that, in case the premises are needed by the owner for demolition, reconstruction, conversions and/or for the implementation of a development plan, no recovery of possession can be ordered by the tenant. In addition, the amount of time required to issue planning permission has been reduced to a maximum of one month for small projects and three months for large projects.
