Stroumbi is a large village with a population of about 480 and is about 17kms from Paphos and 20kms from Polis. It’s a big wine making village and most locals are employed somewhere in the wine making industry. Stroumbi is divided into two parts, Pano and Kato (upper and lower). Pano Stroumbi is a very old settlement, maybe even going as far back as the medieval times; here you will see the ruins of two wineries and lots of traditional houses.

Lower Stroumbi is home to the Police and Fire Stations and the main square with the Church of the Holy Spirit. The infant and secondary schools are also situated in Kato Stroumbi. The village has three tavernas, two coffee shops and fantastic mountain and sea views. It is an ideal place for people wanting to experience real Cyprus village life…..

Traditional reports that the village took its name from the area that the old village was built in, which was located in a “chubby” –in Greek, stroumboulos –area just like the surrounding regions. Another version reports that the village belonged to a person named Stroumbis. “Stroumbis” implies a short and chubby person that resembled a “stromvos” (whirligig).

Since ancient times, the village was renowned for its wines of excellent quality. Thus it is no accident that the village’s inhabitants established –since August 1982 –their annual festival, named “Dionuysia” in honour of the ancient Greek God Dionysus.
