History of the village

Saint Marina is the patron of the village. People decided to give the name of the saint to the village because she helped them to fight against a disease (according to an old tradition) .

The village is known as Agia Marina Chrysochous because it is located on the coast of Chrysochous’ Bay (Cyprus map).

The village

The population of the village is around 1000 residents.

Almost all of the people who live in the village work in nearby towns (Polis, Paphos), but at the same time they are involved in farming.
