  DEVELOPMENT  
 
The small village of Paphos, Agia Marina Chrysochous, emerges from a beautiful landscape. The nature has offered generously its finest colors, the deep blue of the sea and the green of the trees. The visitors, which become more and more each year, enjoy the nature by walking in the trails. They can spend their night in various resorts which are built or planned to be built in the village. The tourist development is supplemented with the residential development as many modern villas are built in order to accommodate the tourists. Below we will give some information concerning the development of the village.

During the last years there is an apparent interest by a great number of tourists, for the discovering of the natural richness of Agia Marina Chrysochous, as it is full of characteristic samples of the Cypriot nature. The tourists arrive usually in groups or even individually, and their basic destinations are the two nature trails, which lead to the most beautiful parts of the village.

The first trail was designed and prepared by the Forest police and it is 4 km long with plenty of signs, which guide the visitors to various beautiful destinations in nature. The second trail is also easily accessible and it leads to the barrier and to the chapel of Agia Marina. The characteristic element of the trails is nature which charms all the visitors with its amazing odors and colors.

The visitors can spend the night in the tourist resorts. There are already fifty flats for rent in the village, which offer hospitality, tranquility and relaxation to the travellers.

We should also mention that the tourist resorts are expanding every year due to the love of the inhabitants for their homeland and their efforts for a greater tourist development. During the last years, an increased residential activation was noted, and it contributes to the tourist development and improvement. To be more specific, the inhabitants have started to build many villas for the tourists who ask for a more comfortable and quite place to stay. These villas are surrounded by trees and plants in a tranquil environment.

The appearance of the company “Aristo Developers” in the village, declares that the upward development of the village will be continued in the future. This company has bought land in the residential and in the non-residential zone of the village and this shows that in the near future the tourist development will increase.

The community also sets some goals for the developmental progress of the village. For example, one of the main goals is the preparation and exploitation of the wild gulf. For that reason, the community takes into consideration the studies of some competent bodies (such as the research center of the National Technical University of Athens) and encourages the creation of marine projects which will upgrade the area. It also hopes that the coastal belt of the village will be properly exploited and developed, thus it has assigned the design of several projects, such as a park and a pedestrian precinct.

Agia Marina Chrysochous is one of the villages of Paphos where the tourist and the residential development are growing in parallel and due to the incredible natural beauty of the village, which emerges from the green hills, the characteristic flora and the wild sea.
