Old Theletra in One Minute

Post by Dominic »

Theletra lies between Kathikas and Stroumpi, in the heart of the Paphos District. Over 50 years ago, they abandoned the village, due to threat of landslide, and moved to the top of the hill. A couple of houses are still occupied, but most of them are now left to nature.
