A lot of the original city-
kingdom of Kition is still covered by present-day Larnaka. What is unearthed of the ancient city, referred to as Area II, is about 1km northwest of central Larnaka. The site appears sparse as you walk the raised runway that takes you over the remains of Cyclopean walls. Most remarkable is what remains of the five temples (from the 13th century BC) and ship depictions etched into the walls of the nearby ancient port. These confirmed that the city was founded by sea-trading Mycenaeans.
