Stroumpi (Stroumbi) has a population of about 480 and so is quite a large village. It is ideally located, being about 17kms from Paphos and 20kms
from Polis.
Stroumpi has been renowned for its wines since ancient times and even today, most of the villagers are employed in winemaking activities.
The two wineries in the region stopped production after the 1953 earthquakes but there are plans for the construction of a new one.
Stroumpi is a village of two halves. Pano (upper) Stroumpi is an old settlement, possibly going back to medieval times, and for the historian,there are some traditional houses to be enjoyed as well as the ruins of the two wineries and a corn mill.
There are two reports of how Stroumpi acquired its name. Some say that it was named after the geographical traits of the area that surrounded it ‘stroumboulos’, meaning ‘chubby’ in English. Others say that the village was named after the person that owned it at the time, ‘Stroumbis’.
