When the island was split between north and south Nicosia airport ended up on the Turkish side of the island and has not been used since.

Historical Sites in Larnaca
Larnaca is an ancient city and although much of the evidence of former occupation has gone there are still some places where you can see evidence of it. The ancient site of Kitium is one such place where you can see ruins. Of newer construction is the Fort of Larnaca, built by the Turks in 1625. There is also the Old Aqueduct that was built in 1745 but was constructed in a Roman style so looks older than it really is!
Larnaca Salt Lake
Just outside the city, on the road to the airport, is Larnaca Salt Lake. This is an important wetland area that fills with water in the winter months. Holidaymakers coming to Larnaca during the winter are treated to a large flock of migratory flamingos who are here from November to March, in addition to many other species of birds.
