Cyprus properties for sale in Amargeti

Amargeti, a village of unique beauty with magnificent archaeological findings, is located east of the town of Paphos and belongs to the geographical region of Ampelochoria.

 

The village is built on an altitude of 390 metres and the annual rainfall is about 600 mm. The scenery is divided by the river network consisted by the river Ezousa on the west and the river Xeropotamos on the east.

 

Vineyards, almond-trees, olive-trees, cereals as well as several fruit-baring trees such as apple-trees, pear-trees and peach-trees, thrive in our village.

 

“Sculptures and inscriptions on bases of statues of the Hellenistic and Roman era” that were discovered in the area of Amargeti are of particular interest, both from a historical as well as from an archaeological point of view.

 

The settlement in the core of the village is relatively compact and becomes sparser in the periphery. In the centre of the village there are old houses, traditional water taps made of local stone, as well as narrow alleys. The central square with the paved court, the building of the Community Council which is also built with local stone, the Heroes’ Monument and the tall eucalyptus really stand out in the village.

 

There are two churches in our village. There is a main church dedicated to Zoodochos Pigi (Life-giving spring) and a chapel dedicated to Saint George. Churches

 

The residents of the village deal with agriculture and stock-breeding, but mostly with the cultivation of vineyards. However, some of the residents of the village work in Paphos, since it is only a 25 minute drive from our village.

 

What is more, in our village, people deal with the production of wine and ‘Zivania’ which is the traditional alcoholic drink of Cyprus. Amargeti, as it is confirmed by the Great Cyprus Encyclopedia, “disposes several boilers for the production of Zivania”.
