The Church of Saint Lazarus (Greek: Ιερός Ναός Αγίου Λαζάρου, Ierós Naós Agíou Lazárou), is a late-9th century church in Larnaca, Cyprus. It belongs to the Church of Cyprus, an autocephalous Greek Orthodox Church.
The Church of Saint Lazarus is named for New Testament figure Lazarus of Bethany, the subject of a miracle recounted in the Gospel of John, in which Jesus raises him from the dead. According to Orthodox tradition, sometime after the Resurrection of Christ, Lazarus was forced to flee Judea because of rumoured plots on his life and came to Cyprus. There he was appointed by Paul and Barnabas as the first Bishop of Kition (present-day Larnaca). He is said to have lived for thirty more years and on his death was buried there for the second and last time. The Church of Agios Lazaros was built over the reputed (second) tomb of Lazarus.

One of the more recent additions is Makou and, despite the exceedingly high competition of similar restaurants in the area, it laid down a solid marker in the summer and looks to have comfortably slotted in as one of Larnaca’s top coastal eateries.
It is situated directly on the seafront on Piale Pasa Street on the long road which goes all the way from the town centre to Mackenzie Beach. The area, including the nearby Mackenzie strip, has become a hotbed for these types of restaurants which specialise in high quality fish as well as converting into upscale bars by night.
