Larnaca District

Larnaca District is an administrative region in southeastern Cyprus that extends from the Mediterranean coast into inland areas. It comprises various coastal towns, several municipalities, and rural settlements across diverse terrain.

The district originated from Ottoman administrative divisions that continued under British control starting in 1878. Modern Cyprus maintained these administrative boundaries as the foundation for contemporary regional organization.

The region contains archaeological sites like Choirokoitia and religious structures that speak to thousands of years of settlement. Walking through traditional villages, you see stone buildings and layouts that reflect how people have lived along the Mediterranean.

Larnaca International Airport serves as the main entry point to the island for many visitors. A local bus network connects the various municipalities and villages throughout the district.

Three communities in this territory - Melouseia, Tremetousia, and Arsos - lie in areas administered by the north since 1974. These enclaves reveal the island's complex division as a lived reality for residents.
