Dhekelia Sovereign Base Area is one of two British Overseas Territories on the island of Cyprus, offering a unique blend of British and Cypriot influences. While not a conventional tourist destination due to its military nature, it`s located near a number of compelling attractions. Adjacent to the base area is the city of Larnaca, known for its stunning seafront, historic fort, and the beautiful Hala Sultan Tekke mosque situated on the banks of the Salt Lake. Within driving distance is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Choirokoitia, one of the most important prehistoric sites in the eastern Mediterranean. Also close by is the vibrant city of Ayia Napa, famous for its golden beaches and lively nightlife. Visitors to the region can therefore enjoy a range of experiences, from archaeological exploration to sun-soaked relaxation and city life.
