Do you know Cyprus? Villages (#27)

Post by cyprusmax47 »

Another village in the Paphos district with a lot of renovation work recently thanks to EU money... What is the name of it?

One hint: there is a photovoltaic park on top of the hill side, which is not easy to recognize on the photo ...

No, it is not Tala Paul. After my last hint it should be possible to find out what the village name is as Dominic made several Blogs about abandoned villages in that area..

It has a very similar look from the distance as one can see on this photo below Yioula, but it is wrong, I am afraid...you must try again

So, nobody knew it to my surprise after the hints I gave.... :)

It is Filousa Chrysochous, to the West the abandoned villages of Evretou and Trimithousa. In the East abandoned Kios, Zacharia and Melandra.
