The "ROVIGO" - Larnaca Bay

' Larnica is situated a small mile from the sea . At the port which belongs to it there is a little town called Marine ; the harbour is naturally well sheltered , but the ships lie off at some distance , and the boats come ashore on an open beach , and are drawn up to land . Tho' this place is very unhealthy , yet the Franks are settled here , as it is very convenient on account of its situation with regard to Nicosia , where the government resides , it being only six leagues from it .
