The mild winter temperatures in Cyprus are perfect for making the most of a new self-guided Cultural Walk around Larnaka city. For those unable to participate on foot, all the sights can be effortlessly discovered at home via the new Larnaka Cultural Walk Virtual 360° project.

The innovative virtual tour was launched last week and showcases 30 of Larnaka city’s most popular and significant landmarks and places of interest; split into three categories: Seafront & Town Centre, Archaeology & Museums, and Culture & Nature. In the same way that visitors would choose a route and sights on a physical walk, anyone can custom create their own virtual tour.

Combining vibrant visual material with additional information and facts on places of interest, this virtual tour is very simple to take. After clicking on a chosen sight, navigate the image from all angles to enjoy a complete 360° view with extra aerial views also available for some sights.

A VR option for mobile device users adds further dimension to the tour. Additional information, such as historical facts or opening hours and contact details, are indicated by square markers that can be accessed to provide more information.

The virtual tour is another way to connect with Larnaka, especially for the many UK repeater guests that could not travel to these shores this year. It is also ideal for those travellers planning a trip for the first time and looking to familiarise themselves with the most popular areas, or wishing to prepare a list of what they would most like to see when they arrive in Larnaka.

The project is yet another 2020 initiative of Larnaka Tourism Board, created by The 360 Production by Okkas & Vrachimis and supported by Cyprus’ Deputy Ministry of Tourism.
