Yes, many crews use short layovers to relax on nearby beaches, as Larnaca Airport is only 15 minutes from the coast.
Crew-friendly beaches:
- Finikoudes Beach: close to the city center, ideal for 2–3 hour breaks.
- Mackenzie Beach: 10 minutes from LCA, popular with crews.
Swimming is possible if the layover is at least 4–5 hours. For shorter stops, most crews stay in airport hotels.
