LARNAKA AND AROUND
	SIR SAMUEL WHITE BAKER Cyprus as I saw it in 1879 Chapter I. Arrival at Larnaca
	GIOVANNI MARITI Travels in the Island of Cyprus Chapter IV.Of the city of Larnaca. Larnaca, of which I am now to speak, should properly be called a large village, but as it is the commercial emporium of the whole island, and ranks officially next after Nicosia, though dependent on the Governor there, it can show reason for calling itself a city, being also the seat of a Greek bishopric and the residence of the consuls of the European Powers Read chapter IV. Of the city of Larnaca
	GIOVANNI MARITI Travels in the Island of Cyprus Salines, Salina or Les Salines Chapter II.Concerning the port and town of the Salines. The port of the Salines in the south of the island is the general anchorage for vessels of every nation, not only because it is the best to be found in all the kingdom of Cyprus, but also because it is the nearest to Larnaca, the city which has the greatest trade in all the island. Read chapter II. Concerning the port and town of the Salines
