Its landscape is characterized by hilly terrain and is divided by the river network of the Alykos River, a tributary of the Pedieos River. About 2 kilometers south of the settlement, the elevation reaches 412 meters at the peak known as Pyr\u00f3s.<\/p>\n<p>From a geological perspective, the administrative area of the village is dominated by lava formations from the Troodos igneous complex and deposits of the Lefkara Formation (chalks, marls, and cherts). Brown soils and calcareous soils have developed on these rock formations.<\/p>\n<p>The area is mainly cultivated with cereals and fodder plants. Livestock farming is also a major occupation for the village residents.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of transportation, Marki is connected to the north with the village of Tseri (about 5.5 km away), to the southeast with the village of Kotsiatis (about 3 km away), and to the southwest with the village of Kataliontas (about 4.5 km away).<\/p>\n<p>The village existed since medieval times. During the Frankish and Venetian periods, it was a feudal estate, although it is unknown to whom it belonged. On old maps, it appears under the names \u201cMongi,\u201d \u201cMorgi,\u201d and \u201cMargi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 16th-century historian Florio Bustronius mentions the village as a fief during the Frankish period, using the name \u201cMargi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the origin of the village\u2019s name, N. Clerides suggested that it derived from the type of soil found in the area, \u201cmarga\u201d (a mixture of clay and limestone), similarly to the village of Marko. However, it appears more likely that the village\u2019s name is of Frankish origin, perhaps deriving from the surname of the feudal lord who owned the area, a view also accepted by Simos Menardos.<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish inhabitants of the village called it \u201cKucuk Koy,\u201d meaning \u201csmall village.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the village existed before the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus (1570\u20131571), it is evident that it was originally inhabited by Greeks. Its gradual Turkification took place during the Ottoman period. By the 18th century, however, it is also recorded that a few Maronites lived among its inhabitants.<\/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-m2or0dur-9cd8002ef1bccc6829a3771c3323f735\">\n.flex_column.av-m2or0dur-9cd8002ef1bccc6829a3771c3323f735{\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\nbackground-color:#f2f2f2;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-m2or0dur-9cd8002ef1bccc6829a3771c3323f735 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-8oxvvz-e66fc03501687c8d5392fbaa22bc2688  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-8oxvvz-e66fc03501687c8d5392fbaa22bc2688 avia-iconlist-animate'>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-otl3z-b8b514723a4b8b5b9647da6deb15396e 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>Marki<br \/>\n2647 Nicosia<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-5ucon3-07f1480810014adafd2348b03674ff8e 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>marki.sym@gmail.com<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-ftifz-903707b9cb4b3c90a0aa3bcb70a5e2a9 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>22525251\/99553360<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><div class=\"iconlist-timeline\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><div class='iconlist_icon av-36mtpr-6ec00f0dc7cb9577b8f93546623731a4 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>22525261<\/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.
