Larnaca District

The district stretches from the Mediterranean coast to inland areas, encompassing 1,120 square kilometers with a population of 155,753 residents across 6 municipalities.

The district emerged from former Ottoman administrative divisions called cazas, which continued under British rule starting in 1878 with modified governance structures.

The region includes important archaeological locations such as Choirokoitia, religious structures, and traditional settlements that display Mediterranean architectural elements.

Larnaca International Airport serves as the primary gateway to Cyprus, while local buses connect the district's 53 communities and 6 municipalities.

Three communities within the district - Melouseia, Tremetousia, and Arsos - remain in territory administered by Northern Cyprus since the 1974 division.
