Bike in Cyprus

Archive for the ‘About Cyprus’ Category

There have been inhabitants in Larnaca since it was originally founded. Very few places in the world can offer such an insight into history over the centuries.

There are influences from all different culture including the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans, the Persians, the Byzantines, the Turks and the British.

When the British began their rule of Cyprus in 1878, they used Larnaca as their point of entry. The British ruled the island until 1960. In the 1970’s, Turkey invaded the island and Larnaca’s population increased dramatically due to the Greek Cypriot refugees of Northern Cyprus, driven out by the Turks during the partition years. This also makes Larnaca’s cultural influences more Christian than Turkish.

Nowadays, Larnaca remains an important point of entry to the country with its large port and International Airport.
The true culture of Larnaca can be seen through various festivals and cultural event that take place throughout the year. These include:
• Arts festivals including summer music and performing arts that attract both national and international performers.
• Religious Events in particular events to celebrate the beginning and end of Lent.
• General Festivals including Europe Day in May.
