The concept of peace is one that differs among people and cultures.
It may mean personal tranquility, happiness in the family, and a
sense of inner contentment — or it may mean a situation of safety
where basic human needs are met. However we define peace, it is
a goal that can be achieved through service.
In Rotary, service is much more than a sideline or an occasional
pursuit. It is a way of life. It is an approach that emphasizes consideration and caring for others, and leads to harmony among people.
Through embracing service in all aspects of our lives, we foster a spirit of sharing, find
goodwill for others, and choose peace.
In the 2012-13 Rotary year, peace will be our focus and our goal. I will ask all Rotarians
to actively work for Peace Through Service, beginning with every individual, family, club,
district, region, and nation.
A belief in the power of service lies at the very heart of Rotary. By making service our priority, we put the needs of others above our own and transform our perspective. We empathize
more deeply with the difficulties of other people; we feel a greater drive to reach out, to do
what we can to help others live more happily. We become more generous with our time and
resources, and more open to new ways of thinking. Instead of trying to change others, we
recognize that everyone and everything has something to teach us — and every day, there
are new ways for us to grow.
Through service, we become more tolerant of our differences, and more grateful for the
people in our lives. Our sense of gratitude drives us to understand others better and to
see the good in everyone. Through better understanding, we learn to respect others. With
mutual respect, we live with others in peace.
Our Rotary service fosters peace in many ways. In our clubs and our districts, we work to
bring health, safety, and human dignity to communities around the world. As individuals,
we are inspired to value cooperation over competition, and the common good over personal
gain. Through self-reflection, we recognize that none of us is perfect and that each of us
has something to learn from others.
The motto that is unique to Rotary, Service Above Self, describes the highest form of service. It is a path that anyone can walk — a path that Rotarians have built, and that the
whole world can follow. It is a path that leads to greater kindness and contentment, tolerance and understanding. When we embrace Peace Through Service, we strive for a greater
peace for ourselves, and for our world.

ROTARY CLUB OF LARNACA - KITION
The Rotary Club of Larnaca-Kition was established in the summer of 1991 and it officially
became member of Rotary International on November 14 of the same year. The Emblem of
the Club is the Cyclopean Walls of ancient Kitium, which are considered to be one of the most
important archaeological sites in Cyprus.
The Rotary Club of Larnaca - Kition since its establishment has a course very rich in activities
which on the one hand comprise a historical consignment and on the other hand a guarantee
to better tomorrow for the Rotary. The podium of the Club has been honored by distinguished
speakers, Rotarians or not, with speeches of scientific, professional, social, historical and
national content.
The Club has given special emphasis in the encouragement and strengthening of Service as
the basis of every profession by awarding prizes to Professionals, Business men and the
Working people who have distinguished themselves through dedication in their profession.
In the sector of education the Club has donated books to the Public Library of Larnaca, to the
Community Library of Livadhia and also books, book shelves and computers to the front line
village of Troulli. The Club has also established the annual awarding of prizes to students of
the Lyceum schools of Larnaca, including the American Academy, who have excelled academically. It has also granted a number of scholarships of £1 .000 each to needy college or
university students from the city or district of Larnaca.
In the sector of health it organizes every year blood donation for the needs of the blood bank
of the Larnaca General Hospital, as well as the donation of medical and other equipment such
as camp beds used by the mothers who need to spend the night next to their aching child. In
addition, the Club undertook the medical expenses of an eye surgeon to go to Sudan to operate on needy patients so they can regain their vision.
In the sector of environment the Club has so far carried out a number of tree plantings in
places designated by the Forestry Department and has created, in cooperation with the Rotary Club of Larnaca, the Rotary Forest of Peace and Friendship at Rizoelia area. Also, many
times, it has organized clean up campaigns at which members and friends of the Club cleaned
up the Larnaca shore as well as the Pattichion Park.
The Club makes every effort to be an aid-giver to the suffering and it should be stressed that
this is not done only at Christmas and Easter. Every year it offers meals and financial aid to
different old peoples homes in Larnaca and children with special needs.
During the crisis in Lebanon the Club sent with a U.N. ship aid, which included medicine,
child food and pampers, blankets and clothing, which were distributed by Lebanese friend
Rotarians and at the same time supported the effort of the Doctors of the World to Lebanon
with financial aid.

LARNACA
The town of Larnaca is the oldest living town of Cyprus. Its name is derived from the word
“larnax”, which means tomb or sarcophagus, a great number of which are to be found in the
area. Unlike Salamis, Amathus, Alasia, Engomi and other ancient cities of Cyprus, which
were destroyed by earthquakes or other causes and were abandoned by their inhabitants,
Larnaca, from the time of it’s founding, lived and still lives on the same location. Presentday Larnaca is built over the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Kitium or Kition which was
founded by Kittim the grandson of Noah.
From the early dawn of history Larnaca attracted many visitors. Some came as colonizers,
like the Mycaeneans, others as peaceful traders, like the Phoenicians, those mysterious
traders from ancient Lebanon, and others as invaders and conquerors like the Persians, the
Romans, the Lusignans, the Venetians, the Turks and the British.
Without laboring on historical points too heavily, it is worth noting a couple of great men
of Kition: Zeno, the founder of the Stoic School of Philosophy in Athens, was born here; St.
Lazarus, raised
• from the dead by Jesus, came to live his second life here, becoming the first Bishop of Kition and is still revered as the local Patron Saint of the town.
Moving swiftly through a fascinating history to more modern times, the British rule of Cyprus
in 1878 found modem Larnaca a leading
• port and the diplomatic capital of the Island.
At the end of the Second World War, Larnaca as a port was overtaken in importance by
Famagusta and Limasol. Now, once again, after a long decline into obscurity, Larnaca has
climbed rapidly back to tourist and commercial importance, with its modern port, its marina,
its international airport, its industries and its many beautiful hotels and other catering establishments.
Its central geographical position on the south coast (just 10 mm. from the International Airport, yet outside the cone of noise of landing and departing aircraft) makes it an ideal base
from which I one can easily explore the rest of the Island.
Larnaca is one of the islands most popular tourist resorts. On completion of revamping the
phoenikoudes seafront, which is the biggest tourist infrastructure project ever attempted in
Cyprus, and with the plans of renovating its physical extension to the south, Piyale Pasa, and
reconstructing the Larnaca -Dhekelia road, Larnaca takes a step forward in its attempt to
develop to the maximum possible extent its tourist potential.

LARNACA
The Cote d’ Azure style promenade of the town will thus take on a bright new air, behind the
ageing palm trees on the beach. With the yachting marina which is also to be extended soon,
at one end and the pleasant strip of bars, restaurants, tavernas and modem hotels extending
along this spectacular sea front, Larnaca presents a unique picture of an oriental setting with
plenty of the modern amenities and comforts that present day tourists search for.
The commercial and shopping centre of the town lies behind the promenade. All along the
coast of Larnaca extend beautiful sandy beaches which provide safe bathing for families
relaxing with young children, and is doffed by beautiful modern and luxurious hotels.
Last but not least Larnaca has a substantial cultural activity. The Larnaca-Famagusta Association of Friends of Classical Music and the Cultural Department of the Municipality of
Larnaca, in close cooperation, work out a very rich programme of artistic events such as
art exhibitions, recitals, concerts, festivals, lectures, etc. These take place at the Municipal
Theatre of Larnaca, at the Lamaca Fort, the open-air garden theatre on the sea front and
the Pattichion Amphitheatre within the Salt Lake Park of the town. This beautiful open-air
theatre can seat over 2,500 spectators.
The Church of St. Lazarus, the Fort of Larnaca, the Pierides Museum, the District Archaeological Museum, the Old Aqueduct known as “Kamares”, the Phaneromeni Church, the ruins
of Ancient Kition, the Hala Sultan Tekke, the Angeloktisti Church with its famous mosaics,
the Larnaca Salt Lake, the Khirokitia Neolithic Settlement, the Stavrovouni Monastery, the
Agios Minas Monastery for nuns, I the village of Lefkara and the picturesque and lovely villages of the Orini district of Larnaca, are sights worth paying a visit to.

THE ANCIENT KITION
To the south coast of Cyprus and underneath the houses of the modem town of Larnaca, lies
the ancient town of Kition one of the oldest and, in those times, one of the most important
towns on the island of Cyprus.
As recent excavations have shown, the first civilized society flourished here at around 2000
B.C. This society continued until the Middle Bronze Age, around 1650 B.C., and then for 400
years the site seems to have been abandoned.
Towards the end of the 13th century B.C. the first Achaean settlers arrived. With their culture
and experience, the Achaeans revived the town and most importantly improved and refined
the process of copper mining.
In 1050 B.C. the town was destroyed by a violent earthquake but was rebuilt to be inhabited
for another 50 years until 1000 B.C. when the old site was abandoned in favor of moving
closer to the sea.
It was not until 900 B.C. that the Phoenician settlers arrived in Cyprus and made Kition their
basis for their commercial activities in the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians ruled Kition till
the end of the 4th century B.C. when the Phoenician dynasty was destroyed by Ptolemy I. The
Greek Macedonian King Ptolemy I, according to historian Diodoros, defeated and killed the
last Phoenician King, Poumianthonas, in 312 B.C.
Zeno the founder of the Stoic School of Philosophy was born in Kition in about 338 B.C., a fact
that is of great significance and pride for the people of the town of Larnaca.
The town of Kition was fortified at the beginning of the 13th century B.C. by a mud-brick wall
that at intervals had four-sided towers made of hewn stones. A little later towards the end
of the 13th century B.C., the Achaeans rebuilt the wall into a strong Cyclopean wall and built
monumental Mycaenian temples near the copper workshops.
Two copper statuettes dating to the 12th century B.C., one representing a bearded god and
the other a naked goddess are indicative of the relation that existed between the temples of
worship and the copper workshops.
In the area of Chrysopolitissa Church, the Cyprus Department of Antiquities in 1962 excavated
and brought to light houses dated in the period 1300 - 1000 B.C. In the yards of some of the
27
THE ANCIENT KITION
houses there were found chamber tombs with rich offerings, among which the well-known
rhyton made of faience with scenes from hunting. Other excavated objects included Mycaenian pottery, gold jewels, alabaster vessels and artifacts made of ivory.
These findings tell of the relations of Kition with the outside world especially with the
Aegeans, Egypt and the Syro-Palestine coast countries, and are evidence of the wealth and
prosperity of the town attributed, no doubt, to the exports of copper which was then the basis
of the economy of the whole of Cyprus. Copper ore was transported probably from the nearby
mines of Troulli and Kalavasos to Kition where at its workshops the copper was extracted
and worked into copper objects and coins which were then conveniently exported from its
harbor.
The Phoenician dynasty of Kition issued important series of coins mostly made of silver. Also
the Phoenician temples and inscriptions found in Kition are widely known.
The ruins of ancient Kition are believed to be one of the most important archaeological sites
of Cyprus, and it is with justified pride that the charter members of the new Rotary Club have
decided to use Kition as the name for their Club and to exhibit the Cyclopean Wall of Kition on
the Club’s banner as part of the emblem of the Rotary Club of Larnaca-Kition.
