Chrysopolitissa is a small, quiet neighborhood in the district of Larnaca, which is currently home to about 8,000 people. It is among the tourist destinations, thanks to the church of the same name in the center.
The neighborhood is close to the village of Agia Anargiri II and the neighborhood of Sotiros.

The most famous streets are Chrysopolitissa, Kimonos, Evagoras Pallikarides, Nikolaou Katalonou, Athanasiou Sakelariou and Archiepiskopou Kyprianou Avenue.
The neighborhood mukhtaris - Julia from Kimonos Street (κοινοταρχες Τζουλιανα Ελληνα) is known by all locals and of course by small business entrepreneurs. She will always help with public space organization, cleaning, and getting papers for residency permits to the migration service and other government offices. So, if you are a new resident of the neighborhood, we advise you to meet the mukhtaris first.
