Much of the activity is centered on the city promenade during the major festivals. The most important of these is ''[[Deluge (mythology)|Kataklysmos]]'' or the ''Festival of the Flood'', celebrated in early summer with a series of cultural events. The festival used to last for about a week, but, in recent years, with the increased commercialism of peripheral stalls, rides and temporary [[Lokma|Loukoumades]] restaurants, the festival has been extended to about three weeks, during which the seafront is closed to traffic in the evenings. |

Larnaca er en by på den sydøstlige del af Cypern. Byen, der er Cyperns tredjestørste, er hovedby i Larnaca Distrikt. ] Larnaca er kendt for Finikoudes, som er byens kystpromenade med palmetræer, Sankt Lazarus Kirke, moskeen Hala Sultan Tekke, Kamares Akvædukt og Larnaca Borg. Byen er bygget på ruinerne af oldtidens Kition, som var fødested for filosoffen Zenon, der grundlagde stoicismen. Cyperns primære lufthavn, Larnaca International Airport ligger sydvest for byen. Larnaca har desuden en trafikhavn og en lystbådehavn.
Emytologi
Larnaca kommer fra det græske ord larnax, som betyder kiste eller sarkofag. Navnet skyldes de mange sargofager som er udgravet i området.[2] Sophocles Hadjisavvas, en statsarkæolog fortæller, at byens amerikanske konsul i sidste fjerdedel af 1800-tallet, mente at have fundet flere end 3.000 grave i Larnaca.[3]
Historie
Den tidligere bystat Kition blev grundlagt i det 13. århundrede f.Kr.[4] New cultural elements appearing between 1200 BC and 1000 BC (personal objects, pottery, new architectural forms and ideas) er set som tegn på væsentlige politiske forandringer and the arrival of the Achaeans, the first Greek colonists of Kition.[5] Around the same time, Phoenicians settled the area.
At the archaeological sites of Kiteon, remains that date from the 13th century BC have been found. Around 1000 BC, Kition was rebuilt by Phoenicians and it subsequently became a center of Phoenician culture. The remains of the sites include cyclopean walls and a complex of five temples and a naval port.
It was conquered in the first millennium BC by a series of great powers of the region. First by the Assyrian Empire, then by Egypt. Like most Cypriot cities, Kition belonged to the Persian or Achaemenid Empire. In 450 BC, the Athenian general Cimon died at sea, while militarily supporting the revolt against Persia's rule over Cyprus. On his deathbed, he urged his officers to conceal his death from both their allies and the Persians.
Strong[6] earthquakes hit the city in 76 AD and the year after.
Jordskælvene år 322 og 342 "caused the destruction not only of Kition but also of Salamis and Pafos".[6] Kition's harbor silted up, and the population moved to the seafront farther south, sometime after this. (Contributing factors to the silting are thought to have been earthquakes, deforestation and overgrazing.)
The commercial port was located at Skala, during the Ottoman Period. Skala is the name of the seashore immediately south of the Larnaca castle[7]—and its neighborhood. The city is sometimes colloquially referred to as[kilde mangler] "Skala" (græsk: S???a) meaning "ladder" or "landing stage", referring to the historical port.
Kamares akvædukt blev bygget 1747 for at bringe vand fra en kilde ca. 10 kilometer (6 miles) fra byen.
Geografi
Larnaca Saltsø fyldes med vand om vinteren og den bliver besøgt af flokke af flamingoer som slår sig ned fra november til slutningen af marts. Saltsøen tørrer som regel ud om sommeren. Tidligere var saltet af høj kvalitet og det kunne anvendes til madlavning, men øget forurening betyder at saltet nu kun kan anvendes industrielt.
Klima
Klimaet i dette område beskrives af Köppens klimaklassifikation som steppe (BSh) på grund af den lille årlige regnmængde og de høje sommertemperaturer, som resulterer i en stor negativ vandbalance. Klimaet beskrives også som Middelhavsklima på grund af den udtalte regntid om vinteren og stort set tørre sommer, men den samlede årlige regnmængde betyder at klimaet klassificeres som steppe.
