Larnaca,[b] also spelled Larnaka, is a city on the southeast coast of Cyprus and the capital of the district of the same name. With a district population of 144,200 in 2015, it is the third largest city in the country after Nicosia and Limassol.[6]
Built on the ruins of Citium, the Ancient Greek city-state best known as the birthplace of Stoic philosopher Zeno of Citium, Larnaca is home to the Church of Saint Lazarus, Hala Sultan Tekke, Kamares Aqueduct, Larnaca Castle, Larnaca District Archaeological Museum, and Pierides Museum. It attracts many visitors to its beaches, as well as Finikoudes (Φοινικούδες; Greek for "palm trees"), its signature seafront promenade lined with palm trees. It gives its name to the country's primary airport, Larnaca International Airport, which is situated in the neighbouring village of Dromolaxia rather than Larnaca proper. It also has a seaport and a marina.
