Abandoned Villages: Alevga

Alevga was abandoned as a result of the Battle of Tillyria in 1964. Nestled close to the border with the Occupied Area, it now lies in ruins save for barns which have been used by nearby farmers. We took a look over the remains of what must have once been a beautiful little village...

Thanks Dominic a very interesting blog the village looked to have lovely views

Pomos harbour is one of my favourite places I love the drive along the coast from Polis although over the years it has changed enormously, but the Kanalli’s good fish hasn’t and I just adore the outlook from this Taverna......

The type was in a quote from a newspaper article, so not guilty! :)

I have corrected it though. Thank you for letting me know. It may seem a minor point, but there isn't much information about these places on the web, and if they aren't spelt correctly it makes it harder to find what little info there is.
