Today a quite tricky photo and not so easy than the last one. I wonder if Dominic knows it..
What is the name of the Byzantine village in the background?

It is this area, but Potamiou is wrong I am afraid....

The name of the village is Agios Therapon which is situated near the famous Lofou village and belonged at the time of Frankish rules to a feudal king.
Interesting how the houses are built. Only a few villages in Cyprus have a ground floor with a vaulted room, which was used as a warehouse for wine jugs or animal stable, while above is the stone built residence of the owners.
