Information about Larnaka

 

Larnaka was first established in the area around 13th century BC and was then named Kition. The town is located in the south east of the country and has a modern port, now the third largest town of the island Republic of Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean. Larnaka has a population of about 70,000 inhabitants.

The Larnaka seafront is vaguely reminiscent of a continental promenade lined with mature palms offering a charming relaxed air. Lined with cafes and tavernas making this a popular spot during the long summer. The17th century fort at the western end of the promenade houses The Larnaka Medieval Museum.

One of the first sights on arriving at the airport is the beautiful salt lake, home to colonies of graceful flamingos and other migratory birds in the cooler months. Beside the lake is the Hala Sultan Tekesi, built in memory of the aunt of the Prophet Mohammed.

Links with Christianity date back to the first Bishop of the town, Agios Lazaros who chose to live here after Jesus 'raised him from the dead'. A church is built on the spot where his remains were found. The annual celebration of the Feast of Kataklysmos, Greek Orthodox Whit sun, an important holiday and is marked with water sports, feasting, singing and dancing. Also of interest is the Church of Agia Faneromeni, built over a rock cave dating back to the 8th century BC and the l8th century aqueduct on the outskirts of Stavrovouni. One of the oldest and most dramatically sited monasteries was founded by St Helena and is perched on the top of a mountain with stunning views. The strict monastic tradition observed by this order prohibits the entry of women  to the inside of the Stavrovouni Monastery.

The Larnaka Archaeological Museum, the Pierides Foundation Museum and the bust of Zeno, the philosopher who founded the Stoic School, are some of the sights of the town.

The Marina nearby is frequented by yachtsmen from all over the world. The main international airport of the island is located at Larnaka.
