Oroklini (also called Voroklini) is situated some 5 miles to the north of Larnaca town and about two miles from the sea. The main feature of the area is the outcrop of low hills which form a backdrop to the village.
The centre of the village is quite traditional with narrow streets and still a few older mud-brick houses with original wooden doors and shutters. Most of the 'village' nowadays, however, consists of modern houses.
It is truly a delightful village, a favourite with tourists due to its tranquility and proximity to the beach.
Cypriots welcome visitors, and as you can see from the picture, are delighted when people join them in their festivities! This picture is taken on Greek Easter, the whole village joined together to have fun!
Our apartment is only seven minutes walk from a well-stocked supermarket and if you don't want to cook there is a good take-away producing both Cypriot and English dishes as well as a popular pizzeria. If you prefer to be waited on there are at least six very good tavernas ready to welcome you.
Oriklini has two excellent bakeries which are open until very late - even on Sundays!
You will also find the essential services you require such as a bank, pharmacy and computer shop with internet access.
Cyprus is renowned for its cuisine, the food is excellent and the wine superb!
Access to Oriklini is very easy with our apartment being less than five minutes drive from the Larnaca-Ayia Napa motorway.
The airport is a 20 minute journey by motorway by-passing Larnaca town centre. Ayia Napa and Protaras, at the eastern end of the island, are an easy 30 minutes drive.
We would recommend that you for your stay - there are many interesting and historic places of interest all over the island which are worth a visit.
