Korfi is a purely Greek village approximately 17kms from Limassol. The original Korfi settlement was built approximately 2kms north-east of the present village, on the steep mountain side. During the heavy rainfall of January 28 1969, there were many landslides that cause a lot of destruction to the houses. The area was considered dangerous and the inhabitants were moved to a settlement built on a higher area, at 550m above sea level, that was considered safer. The new settlement consists of houses constructed in a standard layout. People cultivate cereals, pasture plants, almond trees and carob trees. There are also large uncultivated areas with wild natural growth mainly pistachio lentiscus, wild carob trees, calycotomes, and wild olive trees. Livestock farming is well developed. The name of the village is derived from the word Koryfi ( peak) and it is not derived from the ancient or medieval times. The village is marked on a 1913 map as divided to Pano Korfi and Kato Korfi. The churches in the village are dedicated to Virgin Mary and Saint George.
