Fairly decent example of a mosque, keep in mind you must take your shoes off to enter. More

A ancient mosque you can actually walk round. Nice location on the edge of the larnaca salt lake. Best seen in spring when the flamingos inhabit the lake. More

The building itself is not the best when it comes islamic architecture but it nice to see is still in good condition and there are some elements of interest. It is historically significant because the auntie of the prophet Mohammed fell off her donkey or horse and died here. Her tomb is the main important feature of the mosque. I... More

As far as buildings go there are much better things to see. It makes a nice pic from over the water on the city side. Also, the walk around the Salt Lake is nice but will take you about three or more hours to do the circle. The mosque itself is a bit shabby and not greatly interesting although someone... More

When I went there (November) the mosque was closed, and no opening times were shown at all. Despite this, the mosque is in a beautiful location by the salt lake and it's worth a detour, in the road from Larnaca to the airport. More

Hala Sultan Tekke is in an amazing location just on the banks of the great Larnaca Salt Lake. This year the lake was full of water, something that I had not seen for years, and the famous flamingos were fishing in it. The Tekke is surrounded by a pleasant garden and once inside there is so much peace and tranquility.... More

So near to Larnaca town centre that it would be a great shame to miss out this little gem. Great views of the salt lake and surrounding landscape and, particularly in the winter months, of the flamingoes. Great place for photography. More
