Foinikas abandoned village

abandoned village on the shore of the Asprokremmos Reservoir

Why go

The village lies in the Paphos District, 3 km northeast of Anarita. Its Turkish Cypriot residents left in 1975. In the Middle Ages it was the seat of the Knights Templar, replaced by the Knights of St. John in 1313. Houses and a mosque still stand, and in a rainy winter the reservoir rises and floods the houses.

⚠️ Safety

Do not go inside the ruined houses. In a rainy winter part of the village is under water, so keep away from the water's edge. In summer bring water and a hat, as there is little shade.
