A Brief Introduction
What's in a name?
The official name of the village is Voroklini (pronounced Vor- ok- lini) however most of the non-Greek speaking inhabitants, along with those conected with the tourist industry, refer to it as Oroklini village. For the purpose of this website, we will stick with the official name to avoid confusion.
Voroklini village
The village of Voroklini lies around 8km East of Larnaca town and has become one of the islands most popular residential locations. The main contributing factors to this are it's accessibility to Larnaca town and the countrys main international airport, it's picturesque setting and it's easy going atmosphere.
A small cluster of hills provide the back-drop to this stunning village. If you take the short drive or (for the more energetic) the pleasant hike to the top on one of these hills, you will find the small church of Profites Elias. From this vantage point you can see spectacular views of Larnaca bay to the front, fields and meadows to the rear and the surrounding villages of Pyla and Livadia to either side.
Voroklini has evolved substantially over the past few years. According to information from the Voroklini council web pages, the population of the village has nearly trebbled in the past two decades with many overseas visitors making Voroklini their permanent home.
