TC's Villages at NORTH CYPRUS

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Postby halil » Thu Apr 24, 2008 12:56 pm

Another TC's area Limnitis (Greek: Λιμνίτης, Turkish: Yeşilırmak) is a village in the Tillyria region in Nicosia District, North Western Cyprus. The ancient Vouni Palace was located nearby. It is a small village located on the shores of the Morphou Bay. The upper parts of the village are located 20 metres above sea level but settlement extends all the way down to the sea.
The village is known for its strawberries.

Boomerang, in lving memory I do not recal any GCs living in Gallinoporni or Galatia(not yet mentioned by our friend Halil).

Maybe you can enlighten us as to when the last indigeneus GC lived there. No , seriously. Were they all converts? Anybody to enlighten us?

I am also curious about Kophinou and Kivisili where I used to live part of the year. At some stage there there must have been christians there as they both have churches. Kivisili church always in use prior to 1974 for the annual Panagiyri. The one in Kophinou was a ruin (I think).Any ideas please. In my village of Anglissidhes there was a man called Kophinyodi, which I believed to mean 'the man from Kophinou', and his beautiful daughter we called her the same name.I was too shy to ask her name. Any ideas are welcome without getting tooo political. I am only interested in genuine answers.

In the first photo there are wht looks like knives in the foreground. The shape is identical to a knife called a Navaja in Spanish, a sailor's knife. Strange that they should be found in Cyprus.
