kamares aqueduct

Lovely spot to take a picture or two, you are able to picnic near the aqueduct but there is road noise.

its not worth stopping to get out and look around just get a quick snap from the car! its worth a nice picture but dont water too much time on it, as there are more interesting sights to see!

We were walking around the Salt lake and randomly saw this Aqueduct so it was a nice surpise for us. When you walk all interesting things make you happy but if you come here by car I am not sure if you like it so much.

Nothing great....u can stop for a quick photo shoot and drive along...keep it as part of itinerary while driving to Limassol from Larnaca

Amazing to think that this structure is still standing and looking so well. Nice pictures to be taken and worth the visit.

Nice view. Dog poo everywhere. Nice for taking photographs. Not as big as you would expect. As it was built in 1754 and only half of it is left it is nice but narrow.

This amazing structure brought water to the city for about 200 years and only ceased just prior to WWII. Surprisingly little known about the history prior to the Turkish build or is it rebuild in the 18th century. Naturally the Cypriots are skeptical that a Turk was the originator of such a blessing to the city.

well it took some finding but after stopping and asking a local it was well worth it we arrived here at 17:00 what a fantastic sight came into view as we dropped down the roadway with the sun lighting the aqueduct upyou can walk up to both ends to view the channel not recommended to walk the structure thoughof not you can take the walk to the salt lakes also from here its about 5km wonderful piece of history here

Abou Bekir Pasha (1670 - 1758), one of the Ottoman governors of Cyprus, ordered the construction of this water supply system with its total length of 15 km: 8 km underground and 7 km on substructions and arcades. The actual builder was the dragoman (diplomat and interpreter) Kostantinos Christofakis; the work took him three years (1746 - 1748).At the exit from Larnaka towards the Limassol highway you see the most grandiose arches (kamares) of the 15 kilometers long, 18th century aqueduct of Larnaka. For the traveler the old aqueduct of Larnaka offers a interesting challenge. Walking straight line from these 1st arches at about 2-3 kilometers you arrive at the 2nd arches and after a walk of almost the same distance, but having to pass the airport 'by-pass highway', you arrive at the 3rd and lowest arches. At this point you have to look for the old grain mill, which was working with the aqueduct's water. And then for almost 8 kilometers up to the river, the water channel becomes underground, but every 250 meters you can see the 'visiting wells' of this unbelievable project, which channeled the water of river Tremithos to Larnaka till the 1950'Further info at link: http://www.romanaqueducts.info/aquasite/larnaca/index.html and some pictures i took just to be shared with you. Kamares Aqueduct looks beautiful at night when is lighted.

Остановиться стоит лишь если вы проезжаете мимо (рядом проходит одна из основных трасс, ведущих в Ларнаку). Акведук, а точнее его оставшийся фрагмент не производят большого впечатления: древнее сооружение находится в окружении современных построек. Специально ехать стоит только если вам совсем делать нечего и нужны хоть какие-то достопримечательности, которыми Ларнака почти обделена.

Прикоснуться к истории можно, наблюдая акведук. Хороший фон для фото. А предварительно изучив историю строительства и использования акведука - посещение становится еще более интересным!

Если пройти 4 км по тропе Афродиты, можно увидеть фрагмент акведука, построенного в 18 веке и действующего до 1939 года. Он находится на берегу Соленого озера и в черте города Ларнаки.

Акведук стоит ближе к выезду из города на автомагистраль. Размеры действительно поражают. Можно рассмотреть поближе. Правда, немного разочаровывает то, что строили его турки в новое время, а не древние греки или римляне.

L'abbiamo visto dalla machina passando da Limassol verso Larnaca, ci siamo fermati per una foto. E' formato da una serie di archi ben conservati.

Акведук действительно впечатляет своими размерами. Находится на окраине города, но мы нисколько не пожалели, что сюда приехали - грандиозное сооружение.
