Maronites in South Cyprus

A thriving community with few anchors, but missing something essential: a village…

Since 1974 the vast majority of the Maronites (about 7000 in 2024) live in South Cyprus. There are some churches, some coffee houses, but no Maronite village. Therefore the crucial role of Kormacit, as the last Maronite village of Cyprus.
