ABOUT
LARNACA, CYPRUS:
Near Larnaca International Airport there is the
Larnaca Salt Lake. It fills with water during the winter and is visited by
flocks of flamingos who stay here from November till the end of March. It
dries up in the summer. It used to yield a good quality of salt which was
scraped from its dried up surface. About half - way between the
monument of Zeno and Salt Lake on the right, there is the underground
chapel of Ayia Phaneromeni. It is a rock cavern with two chambers. The
structure suggests that it once was a pagan tomb, possibly dating back to
Phoenician times. The place is credited with various magical properties:
thus those who suffer from headaches or other diseases walk three times
round it and leave a piece of clothing or a tuft of their hair on the
grill in front of the south window. It is also much frequented by girls,
whose lovers are overseas, who come here to pray for their safety.
