Ten city-kingdoms of Cyprus in the context of Limassol

Limassol, also known as Lemesos, is a city along the southern coast of Cyprus, on the Mediterranean Sea. Limassol is the most populated municipality in Cyprus, with a population of 108,105 and is the second-largest urban area in Cyprus, after Nicosia, with an urban population of 195,139. It is the capital of the Limassol District with a population of 262,238.

Limassol was built between two ancient Greek cities, Amathus and Kourion. Its historical centre is located around the medieval Limassol Castle and the Old Port. The city spreads along the Mediterranean coast and has extended much farther than the castle and port, with its suburbs stretching along the coast to Amathus. To the west of the city is Akrotiri, one of the two British Overseas Territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia on the island.

Ten city-kingdoms of Cyprus in the context of Soli, Cyprus

Soli or Soloi (Greek: Σόλοι) is an ancient Greek city on the island of Cyprus, next to the town of Karavostasi, southwest of Morphou (Guzelyurt), and on the coast of the gulf of Morphou. The site was captured by Turkey during the 1974 invasion and is currently controlled by Northern Cyprus.

Originally, Soli was located in a much more constricted geographical location. At its current location, the entire urban centre was designed by Solon during his 10-year trip, after whom the name Soli is commonly attributed. Reyes, however, disputes this etymological origin, as the name Soli appears on the Esarhaddon prism predating Solon's visit. Soli was one of the ten city-kingdoms of Cyprus at the time.
