The Hala Sultan Tekke, a significant Islamic shrine and mosque complex located on the scenic Larnaca Salt Lake in Cyprus, is freely accessible to all visitors throughout the year, typically taking 30 minutes to 1.5 hours to explore. While entry is free, donations are welcome. Visitors can explore independently, though guided tours offer deeper historical and religious insights. There are no seasonal restrictions, but modest attire (covered shoulders and knees for all, headscarves for women entering the mosque) is required, and it's advisable to avoid peak midday heat in summer. Its proximity to the salt lake, famous for flamingos during winter (November-March), offers an additional draw, making it a peaceful and culturally rich stop, especially beautiful at sunset.
