The History of Larnaca

Larnaca is famous for its many historic sights. It is the oldest living city of Cyprus and was originally known as Kition, or Kittium.

Legend has it that the first settlement at the spot was founded by Noah`s great-grandson Kittim.

Unlike other ancient cities of Cyprus, which were abandoned by their inhabitants, Larnaca still exists on the same site on which it was founded 6,000 years ago.
