Erimi is a village lying partly in the British overseas territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia and partly in the Republic of Cyprus. It has a population of 1,432 according to the 2001 census. The village has recently increased in size with the addition of the district "Aphrodite Gardens", a new area just developed for expatriates of mainly British origin.

Close to Erimi is the village of Kolossi, a cross-border village in which stands Kolossi Castle, the castle just inside the republic. The Cyprus Wine Museum (Οινομουσείο) is in the republical side of Erimi village, at the crossroads of the wine routes leading to the mountains and on the old road between Limassol and Paphos.
