Larnaca Weather in March

March: mild spring days

March feels like spring in Larnaca, with pleasant afternoons and cooler evenings. Days reach about 19°C, while nights can dip to 13°C. You'll get plenty of sunshine, but brief showers are still possible, so don't count on every day being dry.

It's a good month for walking the Finikoudes seafront, visiting St Lazarus Church or exploring the old Turkish quarter. The sea may feel too cool for a long swim, and wet spells can make beach time less appealing. For a change of pace, follow the path around Larnaca Salt Lake; the landscape is lovely even when the flamingos have moved on.

Holidays and quieter streets

Greek Independence Day falls on 25 March, with parades and celebrations in Cyprus. Green Monday, the start of Lent in the Orthodox calendar, can also fall in March. It's a public holiday when many locals head outdoors for picnics and kite-flying, though the date changes each year.

If you hate crowds, March is a comfortable choice. It's quieter than the summer high season, and accommodation is often better value than in the busiest beach months. Finikoudes and Mackenzie Beach feel calmer, though some seasonal beach businesses may not be fully open yet.

A local tip for your visit

Take a taxi or bus to Hala Sultan Tekke, beside the Salt Lake, and check the mosque's visiting hours before you go. It's a peaceful stop, but it's a place of worship, so dress respectfully and keep your voice low.

Travelling with kids? The Salt Lake path gives them room to stretch their legs without committing to a long hike. If rain interrupts your plans, St Lazarus Church is a central indoor stop, and nearby cafés make an easy place to wait it out.
