It lies roughly in the centre of the island in the Mesaoria Plain, flanked by the beautiful northern range of Kyrenia Mountains with its distinctive \u2018Pentadaktylos\u2019 \u2013 the five finger mountain. There are various suggestions as to the origin of the name Nicosia \u2013 or \u2018Lefkosia\u2019 In Greek \u2013 but the most likely one is linked to the popular tree, the tall \u2018Lefki \u2018 which once adorned the city.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Based in Nicosia are the Government head offices, Diplomatic headquarters and the cultural centre of Cyprus. The capital presents two distinct faces: the old, original part of the city, surrounded by sturdy Venetian walls over 400 years old, and a busy modern metropolis which has a population of 171.000 together with the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Within the large area, encircled by the strong bastion walls that served to protect the town for centuries, are many places of great historic interest.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The central Eleftheria Square links old Nicosia with the elegant modern city that has flourished outside the walls, where hotels, offices restaurants and gardens blend happily with the fine old houses and colonial buildings of this cosmopolitan city.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Nicosia is a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city, rich in history and culture that combines its historic past with the amenities of a modern city. Nicosia has established itself as the island\u2019s financial capital and its main international business centre. The \u2018new\u2019 Nicosia developed outside the walls became a contemporary, business and cultural center. Just a few miles away are enchanting places of interest such as Byzantine churches and monasteries, archaeological sites and charming villages. The uniqueness of such a combination makes the capital of Cyprus a place worth knowing and certainly a place worth visiting!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/regroup-june2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/nicosia-panoramic-2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;nicosia panoramic 2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/regroup-june2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/kaimakli.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;kaimakli&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/regroup-june2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/nicosia-street-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;nicosia street 1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/cyprusconferences.org\/regroup-june2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Untitled-2.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Untitled-2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;7px|||||&#8221; top_divider_color=&#8221;#5390c1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row module_id=&#8221;larnaca&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">About Larnaca<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#E09900&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_1 et_pb_bg_layout_light  et_pb_text_align_left\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Larnaca is an area of outstanding natural beauty, endowed with numerous attractions, waterfronts and scenic vistas, complemented by some of the island\u2019s most outstanding beaches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The city of Larnaca is located on the southern coast of Cyprus, with a population of approximately 85,000 and is the third largest city, after the capital Nicosia and Limassol.
