Larnaka Tourism Board
this month recommends:
Visit the Wine Villages of Larnaka
The main wine growing area in Larnaka lies around the villages
of ‘Orini Larnaka’ (Larnaka Mountainous Area). Visitors can
sample the local wines at various locations, including wineries.
Larnaka has two wineries offering tours and wine tasting. These
are Ktima Dafermou Winery in Lefkara village (tel. 70 008 373,
www.dafermouwinery.com) and Ktima Christoudia in Kato Drys
(tel: 99 034 828, FB: www.facebook.com/ktima.Christoudia).
Please contact ahead of your visit to make arrangements.
The classic grapes of Cyprus are the Mavro, Xinisteri, Opthalmo
and Muscat varieties. These produce rich, vigorous, strong
wines. Due to a concerted effort to broaden the range of local
wines, more delicate, fruity, mellow wines made from European
strains such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
Grenache and Palomino are also available.

FROM THE EDITOR
We are delighted to welcome you to
Larnaka, our unique charming region!
Larnaka is a destination which offers all
possible amenities, but on the other hand,
it has plenty of hidden gems. And that is
why the Larnaka Chamber of Commerce
and Industry is, for the sixteenth consecutive year,
issuing the “Larnaka This Month” edition. We want to
recommend to you places and attractions worth visiting and interesting monthly events which will not
only entertain you but will also get you acquainted
with the Cypriot culture. Every piece of Larnaka offers
something special and we want to show it to our
esteemed visitors.
What I personally love about Larnaka is the fact that
it has the atmosphere of a small city and the convenience of a metropolitan area. Larnaka has qualities
that distinguish the region from other holiday resorts.
You can rarely find a place which combines historic
attractions, the commercial centre, cosmopolitan
promenades and blue-flag awarded beaches together with numerous activities, all in a single area. So,
Larnaka’s compact size is what makes the destination special together with other characteristics which
can be revealed by reading this edition.
Wishing you a memorable holiday ... and make sure
you truly experience Larnaka to its fullest!
Othonas Theodoulou
President of Larnaka Chamber
of Commerce and Industry

Message from Larnaka’s Mayor
Mr. Andreas Louroutziatis
It is with a great pleasure that I welcome you all
to our beautiful city Larnaka. A city with a continuous and uninterrupted history.
Larnaka is the third largest city of the Republic of
Cyprus in terms of population. It hosts the main
international airport, a port and a nice marina
for yachts. It has clean sandy beaches with clear
blue waters and an efficient tourist infrastructure. The town is organized with everything that a large city
can offer.
The development plan of the city is extremely ambitious
and it is already turning the wider Larnaka area into a field of
investments and opportunities. The regeneration projects
will unify the city center promenade with the popular palm
tree –finikoudes pleasure and entertainment area.
Furthermore, a number of other projects in the city are
already under materialization and I urge you to find out
about them by enjoying a walk in the city.
Larnaka is worth visiting!
Message from the Larnaka
Tourism Board Chairman Mr. Dinos
Lefkaritis
On behalf of the Larnaka Tourism Board, I would
like to warmly welcome you to the lovely coastal
region of Larnaka!
Larnaka is considered to be Cyprus’s oldest
town. With a history of 10.000 years, Larnaka is
the gateway to Cyprus and a magical blend of old and new.
From its traditional architecture, authentic taverns and local
handicrafts to its cultural sites and religious monuments, old
Larnaka is an evocative glimpse into a Cyprus past.
New and modern Larnaka harmoniously intertwines with the
elements of ancient Kition and offers the cosmopolitan visitor
beautiful sandy beaches, a bustling promenade lined with
cafes and restaurants, brand-name shopping, advanced infrastructure and every conceivable amenity.
Larnaka has numerous landmarks and unique places of interest. This useful edition shall enable to you discover Larnaka’s
hidden treasures and make the most out of your stay!

SEPTEMBER 2014
LARNAKA: Historical and other places to see
The successor of the ancient city-Kingdom of Kition and
the birthplace of Zeno, the great Stoic philosopher.
Evidence of Larnaka’s glorious past are scattered all accross
the region. The most interesting places worth visiting in
and around Larnaka are the following:
Church of St. Lazarus: Of great interest is the church of St.
Lazarus. As the name suggests, it was built to enshrine the
tomb of Lazarus, who,
according to legend, was
expelled from Bethany after
his resurrection and forced
into an unseaworthy boat
which brought him to Kiti.
Here he met with the
Apostles
and
was
consecrated a bishop and
canonised. The Saint’s
remains were discovered
and removed in 890AD.
However, the sarcophagus
is held in great veneration to
this day.
Angeloktisti Church: At
Kiti, to the west of Larnaka
town, is the famous church
of PANAYIA ANGELOKTISTI
("build by Angels”). This
11th Century building
replaced an earlier one,
whilst the chapel at the
entrance is of the 14th
Century. The outstanding
feature of the church is its
splendid early Byzantine
mosaic, considered to be
the finest on the island. The
church is certainly worth
visiting for the mosaic
alone.

LARNAKA
this month
Phaneromeni Church: On the way to the Airport there is
the underground chapel of Ayia Phaneromeni.
It is a rock cavern with the two chambers. The structure
suggests that it was a pagan tomb once, possibly dating
back to Phoenician times. The place is credited with various
magical properties: thus, those who suffer from headaches
or other diseases walk three times round it and leave a piece
of clothing or a tuft of their hair. It is visited by girls, whose
lovers are overseas, who come here to pray for their safety.
The Larnaka Medieval Castle was erected by the Turks in
1625. This fort is now a museum and its inner courtyard is
used as a an open air garden-theatre during the summer
months, by kind permission of the Director of Antiquities.
The Larnaka District Museum houses a rich collection of
antiquities from Larnaka and its surrounding district.
The Pierides Marfin Laiki Bank Museum contains a unique
archaeological, medieval, post-Byzantine and Cypriot fork
art collections gathered by five consecutive generations of
the family. It also exhibits an old arsenal and a rich collection
of old chartography of Cyprus and the Eastern
Mediterranean.
Municipal Art Gallery & City Museum & Archives. This
Museum is now open at the five old customs stores of NeoGothic architecture which were handed to the Larnaka
Municipality by the Cyprus Government. This dates back to
the early years of British rule in the late 19th century.
The Bust of Zeno stands at Europe’s Square in Phinikoudes
Avenue. Zeno was born in Kition (ancient Larnaka), in 326
B.C. After studying philosophy in Athens he founded the
famous Stoic school of Philosophy.
Ancient Kition: The earliest architectural remains date back
to the 13th century B.C. In about 1200 BC the area was
rebuilt by Archaean Greeks. The remains of the Cyclopean
Walls, made of giant blocks and the complex of the five
temples are of interest.
The Hala Sultan Tekke lies on the banks of the Salt Lake.
Within the precincts of this Tekke is the tomb of Umm
Haram, said to be the foster mother of Mohammed.
According to Moslem tradition Umm Haram died on this
spot in 647 A.D. while accompanying the Arab invaders. She
was buried here and later the Ottomans built the present
8
SEPTEMBER 2014
mosque in her honour. The place is considered to be fourth
holiest in the Moslem world.
The Larnaka Salt Lake is near Larnaka International Airport. It
fills up with water during the winter and is visited by
migratory birds, mainly flamingoes that stay here from
November until the end of March.
The Old Aqueduct, known as “Kamares”, stands outside the
town on the way to Lemesos. It was built in Roman style in
1745 to carry water from a source about 6 miles south of
Larnaka into the town.
Larnaka Palm Trees Promenade: One of Larnaka’s most
distinctive features is the seaside promenade lined with tall
palm trees. It is a popular meeting and walking place
bordered by tavernas a sandy beach, the Medieval Castle and
the Marina.
Marina: The Largest Marina in Cyprus, located in
“Phinikoudes”. Walking on the Marina Pier is a social activity of
the locals.
Choirokoitia: It is the oldest site that one may visit in Cyprus
and its dates back to 7000 B.C. It is included in the UNESCO
World Heritage List.
Discovered in 1934, this significant site revealed numerous
stone foundations of bee-hive shaped houses, usually
circular. The houses themselves would have been of mud
brick and the ancient inhabitants of Choirokoitia buried their
dead under the floors of their dwellings. As many as 26 adult
and infant skeletons have been discovered beneath 8
superimposed floors in one of the houses.
Stavrovouni
Monastery, about
15 miles from
Larnaka, stands on
the peak of a
striking
lone
mountain, over
which St. Helena,
the finder of the
cross of Jesus, saw
a strange light gleam. Taking it as a sign from heaven, she
founded the monastery and left a piece of the Cross
enshrined there.

SEPTEMBER 2014
KITI
Kiti is found about 11 kilometres south-west of
Larnaka and is built at an average altitude of 20 meters
above sea level. Kiti was likely to have been first built
during the 3rd-4th century by inhabitants of the ancient
city of Kition, who were said to have moved further
south to escape the constant pirate raids they sustained. The village maintains that it was through the
ancient city of Kition its name derived. The village was
known under the name Kiti during the medieval times
too. Archaeological remains from the Neolithic era show
Kiti had fortifications that protected a royal villa. The historian Leontios Machairas mentions that the King of
Cyprus, Peter, disembarked near Kiti on returning to the
island from Asia Minor. This indicates that there was a
mooring place in the village’s coastal area. History has
it, King Peter had a palace here, which he had built
around 1367. In Kiti there is the ancient church of
Panagia Aggeloktisti, meaning Virgin Mary, built by
Angels (see religious sites). The renowned mosaic of
the Virgin Mary within the church, has been dated in
several eras from the 4th century to the 14th and is considered one of the rarest of its kind in the world, similar
to those in Ravenna, Italy. Today local cultivated artichokes, potatoes, zucchinis, okras, cucumbers, watermelons and carrots, along with the small distance to
Larnaka and good road connections has seen rapid
population growth in the village.
How to get to Kiti from Larnaka Main Bus Station: Bus
No 407.

Retail Therapy in Larnaka!
Larnaka is the perfect place to enjoy some leisurely retail
therapy, but knowing exactly what to buy as souvenirs can
be tricky! The good news is that you will definitely be spoilt
for choice from traditional Cypriot handicrafts, excellent
bottles of local wines to designer labels. Whilst there are
shops in many different parts of the region there is a good
selection in the main shopping area which lies just behind
the Foinikoudes promenade and if you have something
specific in mind a quick enquiry in the Cyprus Tourism
Organisation (CTO) office in Vasileos Pavlou will soon
have you on the right trail. At this stage there are two
things to remember… the weight allowance for your suitcase and the fact that during the summer months (MayOctober) many of the local shops close for siesta between
13:00– 16:00 but do stay open later in the evenings.
Smaller shops are also closed every Wednesday afternoon. The exceptions to this rule are department stores,
supermarkets and the tourist shops overlooking the
Foinikoudes Promenade, which are also the only shops to
stay open on a Saturday afternoon.
As well as international brand stores, Larnaka has some
good boutiques and menswear shops for clothing and
its shoe shops have some beautifully styled leather
shoes. For fun souvenirs there are plenty of shops selling colourful tee-shirts and track suits as well as beach
bags and sandals.

The Stavrovouni Monastery was built on the
peak of what was once known as Olympus
Mountain during the 4th century.
The mountain has since adopted the name of the
monastery ‘Stavrovouni’ deriving from two greek
words ‘stavros’ meaning cross and ‘vouno’ meaning
mountain, translated as “the Mountain of the Cross”.
Today ‘Olympus’ is used to refer to the highest point of
the Troodos Mountains further to the west of the island.
Being the earliest documented monastery from the
Byzantine period on the island, Stavrovouni Monastery
is dedicated to the Holy Cross. According to religious
tradition, the monastery was founded by the mother of
the Byzantine Emperor Constantine I, the Great,
Helena. During a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Saint
Helena found the three crosses on which Jesus and
the two thieves had been crucified. Following the excavation Saint Helena left Jerusalem and the eastern
provinces in 327AD to return to Rome, bringing with
her the crosses or large parts of the True Cross and
other relics. On her return to Constantinople she was
shipwrecked on the island of Cyprus. Legend has it
that the Holy Cross was transferred by a miracle to the
peak of the mountain. Following several attempts to
remove the cross from the mountain, Saint Helena left
a piece there and built a small chapel in its place.
Saint Helena spent some time in Cyprus and it is said
that she left several of her treasures behind. Items such
as, part of Jesus Christ’s tunic, pieces of the Holy
Cross and the world’s only pieces of the rope with
12
SEPTEMBER 2014
which Jesus was tied on the Cross. The latter is held at
the Timios Stavros Monastery in Omodos, whereas a
silver cross in which a minute piece of the holy cross is
inserted, remains in Stavrovouni with one other piece
held at the Timios Stavros Church in Lefkara. The
monks here are renowned for their icon painting.

TRADITIONAL CYPRIOT RECIPE
Apricot Jam Cookies (“Pasta Flora”)
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of baking soda dissolved in 1 tsp lemon juice
4 egg yolks
1 cup butter unsalted
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbs cognac
1 tsp vanilla extract
500 ml (about 1 1/2 cups) apricot jam
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Beat the sugar with butter until fluffy. Then add the
egg yolks one at a time, beating the mix well after
each egg yolk. Add the lemon, cognac and the vanilla. Then, by hand, add the flour, baking powder until
a nice soft dough is formed.
3. I like to make the pasta flora quite thin and into
cookies. Divide the dough in half. Press half of the
dough flat into the bottom of the pan (15 inches by
10 inches). Spread the jam on top. Take the remaining dough and roll a long thin roll and place it on top
of the jam so it follows the outer edge of the rectangular pan.
4. Make more rolls and place them diagonally over
the jam to create a diamond pattern, as in the pattern
above. If you wish, then place small roasted almond
pieces in each diamond pattern. Place in the oven and
cook for about 35 to 40 minutes., until the dough is
golden brown in colour. Remove from oven and let
cool.
5. Once cool, cut into as many bite size squares as
you wish.
