The picturesque village of Choirokoitia is located in a hilly area in the district of Larnaca, 33 km from the city of Larnaca and is connected to the southeast by the Limassol – Nicosia motorway with these two towns. To the north it is connected with the villages of Pano and Kato Lefkara while to the northwest it is connected with the village of Vavla. Undoubtedly, the settlement of Choirokoitia is the best preserved prehistoric settlement of Cyprus, dating back to the later phase of the Aceramic Neolithic period (around 7000 BC). UNESCO, in 1998, declared the settlement a World Heritage Site. It is one of the most impressive examples of early permanent settlement of populations on the island. A wide wall of fencing has been built to the west of the settlement.
