especially during the winter months when filled with water
and attracts a large number of migrating birds including
flamingos, which form a spectacular sight as they all get
together in the center of the lake. During summer months
the water evaporates leaving a crust of salt and grey dust.
Lately Italian Chefs have named the salt of Larnaca “oro

bianco” white gold. They consider it the best salt for
cooking fish and red meat as well as for dressing fresh
vegetables. Its high content of iodine makes it unique and
very healthy.

•
and a Monastery. Just before 1668 the nunnery was
changed to a Monastery. During the years 1978 – 2006, it
served as the Ecumenical Centre of Conferences. The
