Pyla is a village located in the district of Larnaca. Pyla is encircled by the Larnaca Gulf, by the villages of Pergamos, Troulloi and Oroklini, and by the British Base at Dekelia. The name Pyla has a Greek origin, and according to one interpretation, it derives from the Greek word "gate" because, in ancient times, the settlement served as the only gateway to the Mesaoria plain. The village has currently 1,434 residents (World Population Review).
