This is a list of settlements in Cyprus. The English name is indicated first, followed by the Greek and Turkish names, in turn followed by any former names, including ones used in antiquity. Note that even though, prior to the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Turkish names existed for some villages/towns, due to political reasons, most of the villages/towns were given a different Turkish name. The largest cities in Cyprus, in order from the most populous, are Nicosia (capital), Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, Famagusta and Kyrenia.
Note that not all North Cyprus District capital cities are also District capital cities of the Republic of Cyprus.
Municipalities are under the de facto control of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Turkish names were established in 1958, then some of them were altered after the Turkish invasion (e.g. Morphou in Nicosia District). Note that not all North Cyprus Municipalities are also Municipalities of the Republic of Cyprus.
Towns and villages, illegally occupied since the 1974 Turkish invasion and sub-sequentially under the de facto control of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Turkish names were established in 1958, then some of them were altered after the Turkish invasion (e.g. Kourou Monastiri in Nicosia District).
