Emba, Paphos <
Everything under the sun. Emba (meaning 'Enter' in the Cypriot Dialect) is a picturesque Greek village in the district of Paphos at 135m above sea level within close proximity to blue flag beaches, excellent golf courses, traditional tavernas and modern supermarkets as well as the international school of Paphos . It is the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.
Enhancing the village square is a 12th century church Panayia Chryseleoussa (the Virgin Mary, The Mother of Christ). It is built in Byzantine style and its interior walls are decorated with frescoes, some of which are of outstanding historical and religious interest.
Recently a new church was constructed near the old one. It was dedicated to the apostle Andreas (St. Andrew) and on his name day, 30th November, a religious festival is held in the church grounds. There are also many small chapels scattered around the rest of the village.
Works are scheduled to commence this year on a new 1000 berth marina, complete with shops and restaurants. This is expected to have a very positive affect on house values throughout the area.
