Larnaca: is a quiet town with a population of just 22,000 people. In recent years however, the town has seen much development and has become a bustling port town with an international airport. It boasts a stunning marina as well as beautiful beaches and the historical site Kition, which is believed to have been founded by Noah's grandson and later became the birthplace of the Greek philosopher Zeno. Limassol: is the second-largest town in Cyprus, a hub for industry and home to the island’s main port. Limassol can be found on the southern coast, close to Paphos, and is famed for once being a base for the Templars and the Knights of St John. Nicosia: is the capital of Cyprus and the only large town which can be found away from the coast. It was chosen to become the administrative hub of the island when the coastal towns became unsafe because of continual attacks. The Venetians conquered Nicosia in 1489 and built up the city walls, which can still be seen today. The Venetians soon lost control over the city and Nicosia found itself in the hands of many different powers, including the British in the 19th century. Ayia Napa: this is a very busy tourist resort, especially popular with younger crowds. It can be found on a peninsula on the southeast coast and boasts golden beaches and beautiful scenery. There are many bars and clubs to be found throughout the resort and it is one of the most popular places for young people to travel to after Ibiza. This being said, there is much more to Ayia Napa than a frenetic nightlife. A daytrip will allow you to see some of the historical sights such as the Ayia Napa Monastery and a number of ancient ruins. |
