The climatic conditions and the morphology of the ground have led to the creation of a complex landscape in the village of Agia Marina Kelokedaron. Woodland and cultivated land exist at the same time.

The main cultivations, which thrive in the village, are olive trees, almond trees, locust trees and vineyards. The villagers also cultivate cereals, pulse and vegetables.

Because of the dry climate and the low rainfall of the area, the plantations, which are cultivated, are those who do not need great quantity of water to survive. The farmers begin the cultivation in autumn and the procedure is completed before Christmas, so that the cultivations take advantage of the winter’s increased rainfall.

In older times, the cultivation of the land was made with a plough, which helped the farmers to improve the result, but still it was a very hard job. For the transportation of their goods, the villagers used donkeys, as there were no cars.

The constant exploitation of the land was, in a matter of fact, a great need of the inhabitants so that they could support their families. As in older times families had many members, the biggest part of the harvest was consumed to cover their needs and it was not sold to third parties. The products of the cultivations met the nutrition needs of the families for an entire year and for that reason the farmers had storage houses to keep them.

We presume that the harvest must have been big, because it was not only enough for the support of the families but it was also sold in other villages. The average number of family members in the village was nine. A research, which was conducted in 1920 shows that there were only seventeen families and the number of children, was one hundred and thirty two.

As we mentioned above there are not only cultivated parts in the village but also woodland where you will find a great sample of the Cypriot flora and which gives a unique color in the village.

We must note that the physical environment of Agia Marina Kelokedaron combines the cultivations with the wild Cypriot flora. Without any doubt, the physical environment has influenced the habitants’ life who exploited their land and managed to develop their cultivations. In previous years the nutrition and the entire income of the villagers was based on the cultivation of the land.

In the village there were many traditional taps, which covered the needs in water (drinking, washing) of the inhabitants. When they wanted to wash their clothes, they carried them to the taps. They put them in basins, boiled the water, added soap and washed them out.

Nowadays, only three traditional taps remain in the village and they will be restored in the near future.
