Eruv in Larnaca: worth checking ahead
We don't know of an active eruv in Larnaca. For a relaxed Shabbat, check with the local Chabad house or community beforehand, and leave your key at reception.
Shabbat meals in Larnaca
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat, so Friday-night dinner and Shabbat lunch are at the Chabad house. Register ahead - most close bookings by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within an easy walk of the Chabad house - for a relaxed meal and a short, pleasant stroll back.

Our guide
Larnaca is the centre of Jewish life in Cyprus - the island's central synagogue, a Chabad house and three kosher restaurants, two of them mehadrin under Chabad Larnaca, all within walking distance of Finikoudes beach. In summer the island's Jewish population grows sharply with tourism from Israel, so book a table and arrange Shabbat meals in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Larnaca
Larnaca does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad of Larnaca (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Larnaca.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
