Salt Lake - (From Wikipedia)
A popular sight in Larnaca, Salt Lake is home to nearly 85 species of migratory water birds like flamingos.About 10,000 flamingos visit the lake every year around Jan-Feb. In July-Aug, the lake dries up leaving a thick crust of salt measuring up to 10cm deep. In the Middle Ages, the lake was used to mine salt for commercial purposes, but now it is just a tourist attraction. Situated nearby the Salt Lake is the holy site of Hala Sultan Tekke.
