Ancient aqueduct still mostly intact. Iconic view driving through Larnaca. There is a nice walk from here to the Salt Lake.
This beautiful 18th century aqueduct can be found on the road heading towards Lemesos in the area of Kamares, which takes its name from the distinctive arches (‘kamares’ in Greek). An open-air sight, the aqueduct was built in the Roman style in 1746 by the Turkish governor of Larnaka, Bekir Pasha, who funded it out of his own sources to carry water to Larnaka from a source about 10km away. The aqueduct was abandoned in 1939 and its function replaced by modern pipes. There are more than 20 arches still intact, and these are strikingly illuminated at night. A cobbled area with benches and a footpath allow you to enjoy the site of this monument, with the path linking up with Larnaka Salt Lake.

Historic aqueduct where a 4km trail starts, all the way around the salt lake
These grandiose arches are part of the ancient Larnaca aqueduct. This aqueduct was built in the Roman era. In 1745 the Ottoman governor reconstructed the whole project, basing it on the existing facilities. The arches channeled the water of the Tremithos River to Larnaca until 1936.
