Kiti is found about 11 kilometres south-west of Larnaca and is built at an average altitude of 20 meters above sea level.

The village receives an average annual rainfall that ranges around 360 millimetres. Vegetables, (artichokes, potatoes, zucchinis, okras, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, and carrots, cereals, and a few fruit-trees are cultivated in the region. Stockbreeding is well developed as also is cultivating in greenhouses.

Kiti is included in the great irrigation project of the Southern Conveyor and the community has benefited -in the context of the project's second phase -through the irrigation of significant stretches of land.

The community's road connections are very good. In the north-east it connects with Dromolaxia and Meneou -and through it to the city of Larnaca. In the north-west it connects with Tersefanou and in the south-east with Pervolia.

The small distance between Kiti and Larnaca, the good road connection and its remarkable development in agriculture and stockbreeding are the factors that contributed to its rapid population growth. In 1881 the inhabitants of Kiti were 673, decreasing to 567 in 1891, increasing to 673 in 1911, to 682 in 1921, to 796 in 1931, to 949 in 1946, to 1080 in 1960, and to 1161 in 1973. After the Turkish Invasion of 1974 a refugee self-help settlement was created and in 1982 the village's inhabitants -along with the refugees -were 2109. In the 2001 census the inhabitants numbered 3354.

The village maintains -through its name -the naming of the ancient city of Kition that stood further in the north. The village was known under the name Kiti during the mediaeval times too. The historian Leontios Machairas mentions that the King of Cyprus, Peter, disembarked near Kiti on returning to the island from Asia Minor. This indicates that there was a mooring place in the village's coastal area. However, the reason King Peter disembarked in Kiti was that he had a palace there, which he had built around 1367. The same writer reports that Kiti was one of the villages that were set on fire by the Saracens during their 1425 invasion of Cyprus.

During the Frank Domination era, Kiti was a feud belonging to the royal family of Cyprus and is referred in old maps as Chiti, Chitus, and Ciiti. Last owner of Kiti was Charles Lusignan. The village however was taken away from him by the King of Cyprus Jacob II because Charles had remained loyal to Jacob's adversary, the legitimate Queen of Cyprus Charlotte.

During medieval times Kiti had fortifications that protected the royal villa. Within its administrative range there also are archaeological remains from the Neolithic era. Kiti was probably first-built during the 3rd - 4th century by inhabitants of the ancient city of Kition, who moved further south and created today's Kiti feeling angry about the constant pirate raids they sustained.

Kiti has nothing to be jealous of from the big cities. It is a modern burg/town with all the comforts that everyday life offers. It has kindergartens, elementary and high schools, a police station, banks, supermarkets, restaurants, infirmaries, various clubs/societies and organisations, a cultural society, sports clubs, and the unique church of "Panagia Aggeloktisti" that is under the protection of UNESCO. Several tourists, both domestic and foreign, daily visit the church of "Panagia Aggeloktisti" so as to admire the renowned mosaic of the Virgin Mary.
