Larnaca, historically referred to as ‘Kition,’ was a significant kingdom on the island and the birthplace of the philosopher Zenon, who established the Stoic school of thought in Athens. The city’s patron saint is Saint Lazarus, and there is a grand church named after him, located near the old Ottoman fort. In the heart of the city, one can observe the blend of Eastern and Western influences through the juxtaposition of minarets and bell towers.
