Mckenzie Beach
Let’s go to Mckenzie
Everything started from a Scottish man that sheltered a small house in the beach of Larnaca. His name was Mckenzie. So, when the locals wanted to visit this beach, they used to tell each other “Let’s go to Mckenzie ”. As a result, years now, this beautiful beach has remained known by that name. Its beautiful grey, thin sand and the crystal clear blue waters, had made Mckenzie one of the most famous beaches in Larnaca. Only a few kilometers away from the city center, full of bars and restaurants and easily accessible, Mckenzie can give the visitors everything they're looking for.
