In order to preserve this site a management plan was formed. The plan is to protect the site for future generations to come. Some of the safeguards in place is a ‘buffer zone’ around the site so development of the village doesn’t go to close to the site. Other parts of the plan were the planting of specific trees and fauna that were found in the Neolithic age.
Choirokitia is an agrotourism destination that has much to offer, from the wood architecture to the cobblestone streets. You will also find traditional basket weaving here and a restored olive oil mill. One can visit the mill and see the old methods and tools used to product olive oil.
Now the local church is actually a amazing Byzantine church named Panagia tou Kambou, meaning Our Lady of the Fields. It has Gothic elements and also medieval elements and has frescos dating back to the 16th century. There are more churches in the village to see too like Agia Paraskeui, Agios Georgios, Agios Iacovos and Agios Kyriakos.
Choirokoitia was abandoned with no known reason in around 6000 BC, but this makes it all the more reason to visit. This village has an to offer a real authentic and traditional Cypriot experience.
