Towns – population

The **total population** of Cyprus is around 800,000 with the capital, Lefkosia (Nicosia) being the largest town. Lefkosia is also the seat of the Government as well as the main business centre. The second biggest town of Lemesos (Limassol), which is where our firm offices are situated, is the main commercial port of Cyprus and also a popular tourist resort.
The costal town of Larnaca can be distinguished because the main International Airport is situated there and also because it has the second commercial port of the island. The town of Paphos is a fast developing tourist resort and home to the island’s second International Airport. Famagusta and Kyrenia are the other two towns of Cyprus, which are situated in the illegally occupied part of Cyprus since the Turkish invasion in 1974.
