Day 2 in Cyprus: Larnaca and Dhekelia

I checked out of my hotel at half past eight and drove down to the Larnaca waterfront. The streets were largely empty as people were still waking up from New Year’s Eve, and there were plenty of parking spaces all along the road, but when I parked the car, I realised the ticket machine only accepted coins. Luckily, I quickly found a private parking place that took cards. It was opposite Europe Square, which houses the historical buildings of the district administration, the municipal art gallery, and the archives museum. Incidentally, Europe Square is also where one can find the statue of Zeno of Citium, the founder of Stoicism and perhaps the most famous citizen of Kition, now Larnaca.
