Eptagoneia is served by a fairly satisfying road network. In the south, it is connected to the Limassol-Nicosia highway through Parekklisia village. It is also connected by asphalted roads in the north to Melini village, in the west to Arkapas village and in the east to Akapnou village.

The break of Ayios Mamas - Arakapas has significantly influenced the morphology of the village. However, what characterises the area of the break is the rectilinear disposition of the river network of the Germasoyia and Vassilikos rivers. The site of the village is fairly partitioned by the tributaries of these two rivers.

According to one version, the village owes its name (which is a compound word of the words seven and angle) to the fact that the configuration of the soil of the areas forms many angles. The figure seven as first compound means intensification (like having seven lives). According to another version, the village took its name from the seven neighbourhoods the village had in the old times.

Eptagoneia has an average annual rainfall of about 630 mm. The main crops in its lands are citrus (tangerines and oranges), olives, almonds, carobs and cereals. Potatoes and varieties of wine grapes are also grown there. Stock breeding is very limited.

Eptagoneia is included in the Pitsilia Uniform Rural Development Plan and has highly benefited from the construction of land reclamation works, the improvement and asphalting of the Eptakagoneia-Arakapa road and the building of four earthen reservoirs which have contributed with their operation to the extension of the irrigated surfaces of the village area. Moreover, it has been elected as the central village for the operation of the regional elementary school under the name of ''Iamatiki'' for the Eptagoneia, Arakapas, Dierona, Kellaki, Sykopetra, Prastio and Akapnou villages. Today, about 150 children from all the villages of the area attend to regional elementary school.

The village has known important population fluctuations. In 1881 it had 316 inhabitants who increased to 385 in 1921 and 470 in 1946. Since 1946 a continuous decrease in the population has been observed because of the urban pull which started in all the villages of the Pitsilia area. In 1973 the inhabitants of the village did not exceed 355 and in 1982 there were only 289 inhabitants. Today the village counts about 350 inhabitants who have preferred to stay in their village in spite of the daily difficulties they encounter.

Eptagoneia was known at least since the beginning of the Frankish rule. Originally, it constituted one of the domains of the Templars in Cyprus. After the dissolution of the Order of the Knights Templar, Eptagoneia fell into the hands of the Knights of Saint John who had Kolossi as their headquarters, and it constituted one of the villages of the Big Commandaria. Eptagoneia is mentioned on ancient maps as Astagonia.
