The village of Maroni is found built about 35 kilometers southwest of Larnaca. It has an average altitude of 70 meters, the altitude reaching 200 meters in the north of the village, and has a distance of 2 kilometers from the sea.
The village preserves -to a great extend -its traditional architecture with the narrow streets, the stone-made houses with local stone, the houses with the picturesque upper levels with balconies, the arches and the front doors with chiseled frames.
The region is rich in antiquities and has been confirmed that it was inhabited since the prehistoric times, indeed quite densely, something due to the fertile land in the valley of the river Maroni. It is also mentioned that in the region, starting from the village and toward the sea, there were remains of the Neolithic era, the Chalcolithic, the Early and Middle Bronze Age, the Archaic era, and the Roman and Medieval times
