Larnaca

The name Larnaca originates from the Ancient Greek noun λάρναξ larnax meaning 'coffer', 'box' or 'chest'.

The Salt Lake in Larnaca fills with water during winter and is visited by flocks of flamingoes.

Finikoudes is the promenade along Athenon Avenue, lined with a row of palm trees.

The marble bust of Zeno of Citium, who founded the Stoicism school of philosophy, stands at a crossroads near the American Academy.

Larnaca's economy has been growing since 1975, particularly after the loss of the Port of Famagusta.
