Larnaca (Greek: Λάρνακα [ˈlarnaka]; Turkish: Larnaka) is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus and the capital of the eponymous district. It is the third-largest city in the country, after Nicosia and Limassol. The urban population (84,900 inhabitants in 2015) is the aggregate of the populations of Larnaca, Aradippou, Livadia, Dromolaxia, and Meneou.
