The "Phinikoudes" promenade , Larnaca

' In the afternoon we passed cape Citti , whence we saw at ten miles distance the Marina of Larnaca , before which we anchored just at sunset , and were delighted with the neat appearance of its houses , with its verdure and its palm trees ... I soon forgot the fatigues of my voyage in a good bed . '
