Biography
View old mayors

The former city-kingdom of Kiton was originally established. Cultural elements as pottery, new architectural forms and ideas appearing between 1200 BC and 1000 BC are a sign of significant political changes and the arrival of the Achaeans, the first Greek colonists of Kition. Around the same period, Phoenicians settled the area.

In 76 AD and the year after strong earthquakes hit the city. The same natural disasters also occurred in 322 AD and 342 caused the destruction not only of Kition but also of Salamis and Pafos. Kition's harbor silted up. The population decided to moved to the seafront farther south.

During the Ottoman period the commercial port was located at Skala - the seashore immediately south of the Larnaca castle and its neighborhood.
