The village\u2019s hilly landscape is divided by the river network of the Gialias.<\/p>\n<p>From a geological perspective, the administrative area of the village includes deposits from the Lefkara Formation (marls, chalks, and marly chalks), recent alluvial deposits, and lava formations from the Troodos igneous complex. Calcareous soils and dry rendzina soils have developed on these rock formations.<\/p>\n<p>Kotsiatis receives an average annual rainfall of approximately 380 millimeters. The area cultivates cereals (mainly barley), fodder plants, olive trees, vegetables (such as okra, potatoes, and green beans), and a small number of lemon trees. There are also several barren and uncultivated areas. Livestock farming is well developed in the region.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of transportation, Kotsiatis is connected to the northwest with the also Turkish Cypriot village of Marki (about 3 km away), to the southeast with the village of Agia Varvara (about 3 km away), and to the northeast with the village of Nisou (about 4.5 km away). The new Nicosia\u2013Limassol road, which passes approximately 3 km east of the village, also connects it to the island\u2019s two major urban centers.<\/p>\n<p>The area around Kotsiatis was inhabited since ancient times, as proven by archaeological remains and various findings dating to the final (third) phase of the Early Bronze Age, between 2000 and 1850 BC.<\/p>\n<p>Very close to the village, to its southwest, lies an Early Bronze Age III cemetery, where several tombs were excavated in 1970. Numerous vessels and various other artifacts originate from the archaeological site of Kotsiatis.<\/p>\n<p>Among these discoveries, of particular interest is a clay red-polished model of a sanctuary, 19 centimeters high, now housed in the Cyprus Museum. This artifact, discovered in a tomb, depicts a human figure standing before a large krater, while three sculpted bull heads are mounted high on relief pillars. A second clay sanctuary model was also found in a tomb at Kotsiatis.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these valuable objects complement the information derived from the famous sanctuary model discovered at the archaeological site of Vounous.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m2oqy3js-5347323ed4d048adfc558a0e7d11bf79\">\n.flex_column.av-m2oqy3js-5347323ed4d048adfc558a0e7d11bf79{\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\nbackground-color:#f2f2f2;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-m2oqy3js-5347323ed4d048adfc558a0e7d11bf79 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='avia-icon-list-container av-8xjlkp-275ad5a2427069250d993624a86f90d4  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><ul class='avia-icon-list avia_animate_when_almost_visible avia-icon-list-left av-iconlist-big av-8xjlkp-275ad5a2427069250d993624a86f90d4 avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-7p6t09-9dae0407d638282a3c9661ce27313c99 avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue842' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Address:\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Address:<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Agias Marinas Street<br \/>\n2564, Kotsiatis<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-68f5nt-77094cf2cb3018b396a80645dd177c70 avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue854' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Telephone:\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Telephone:<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>22524110<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-4353c9-3fb2ebaa8905aa3ec731cfab15da8bea avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue838' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Fax:\"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Fax:<\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>22524807<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-30sk9l-6db95f67a25858b1b7f46665347f5676 avia-font-entypo-fontello avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/div><article class=\"article-icon-entry \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconlist_content_wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Icon: Email: \"><h4 class='av_iconlist_title iconlist_title  '  itemprop=\"headline\" >Email: <\/h4><\/header><div class='iconlist_content '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>kotsiatis@gmail.com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
