Abstract
The lack of harbour facilities was always a setback in the financial development of
Cyprus. The paper aims to describe the harbour facilities of the island in 1878–1879,
and to analyse how the harbour works in Limasol, Larnaca and Kyrenia in 1881, 1882
and 1890 respectively and in Famagusta harbour in 1905, affected the shipping and
commercial activity of the coastal towns. At the same time it will outline how much was
spent on the harbour works and its authorisation. All of these factors will highlight to
what extent the harbour works contributed to the economic development of Cyprus.
