The Kamares Aqueduct, just a 40-minute walk from the centre of Larnaca, can be an interesting thing to do during your stay in Cyprus.
History of the Kamares Aqueduct
Construction of the Kamares Aqueduct, also known as the Bekir Pasha Aqueduct, started in 1747 and was completed in 1750.
It was funded personally by Ebubekir Pasha himself, to provide a fresh water source for the city, from a source 10 km away.
Today, around 20 arches remain intact, though the aqueduct was abandoned in 1939.

How to Get to Kamares Aqueduct from Larnaca
I walked from the Le Mat Hostel, in the centre of Larnaca, where I stayed for three nights. It took 40 minutes. Take water with you!
