Larnaca Local History
Larnaka is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. In the time of the Old Testament, the city was known as Kition and the ruins of the ancient city can still be seen today.
The Hala Sultan tekke Mosque dates back to 647AD at the time of the first Arab invasion of Cyprus. The city is also home to the final resting place of St Lazarus in the city's central church.
Today, Larnaka is the international gateway to Cyprus; with palm lined promenades, excellent shops, sandy beaches and deep blue sea.
