## How this was worked out

A zone counts if any part of it falls within 10 km of 34.6841, 33.0379 - Limassol's centre as recorded by GeoNames. That radius scales with population and is NOT the administrative city boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears. Population 154,000 (GeoNames record updated 2026-04-13).
