Ormideia is a large village in the eastern part of the Larnaca District with a commanding church of Agios Constantinos. In the 18th century it was a major tourist centre for the many merchants and diplomats resident in Larnaca. Ormideia is famous for fruit-growing oranges, lemons and grapefruits.

An ancient settlement existed here but was completely destroyed by the unscrupulous digging of General Palma Luigi de Cesnola, who, in 1865, was appointed as the American consul and who exploited the island's ancient treasures, destroying many sites of archaeological interest forever.

Whether you come for your holidays or whether you intend to stay as a permanent resident, Ormideia has a lot to offer. As a traditional village and not an artificial tourist development, it provides almost everything you need and expect: from shops to restaurants and from schools to leisure activities.

And if there is anything you cannot find in Ormideia, then it will be within easy reach. The A3 motorway, which passes the outskirts of the village (but which is not visible from the village) takes you to the town of Larnaca (about 28 km), the airport of Larnaca (about 36 km), the capital Nicosia (about 60 km), the tourist centres of Ayia Napa (about 20 km) and Protaras (about 32 km) or the south-eastern end of the island: Cape Greco (about 40 km).

If you have no car, a regular bus service will take you there.

The coast, which is ideal for fishing, is only about 2 km away, and a small fishing harbour about 3 km. There is a beach with shop and cafe facilities as well as a full watersports program at the Dhekeleia base, 5km from the village.

Along the coast, from Larnaca to Cape Greco, and from there up to the border of the Turkish occupied area, there are plenty of beautiful sandy beaches. Whether you are looking for a quiet place, an area for a picnic, a busy beach or any kind of watersport activities, you will find it. The maximum distance to any of these places is about 40 km.
