Itinerary description

I did try to find the spot where Frodisia a Turkish village was before. Location is beautiful deep in Paphos forest. Only a fence left built from stone , nothing else. Track is breathtaking all over and marked well at every intersections.
Spot of village is so small I don't think so here was more than 3 or 4 houses.

Vroisha or Frodisia (Greek: Βροΐσια [ˈvro.iʃa] or Φρόδισια; Turkish: Vroişa or Yağmuralan) is a deserted village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, in the Paphos Forest. Before 1964, it was inhabited exclusively by Turkish Cypriots. Vroisha was deserted between 15 and 18 March 1964. [1] Soon after, the Forestry Commission of the Republic of Cyprus razed the village to the ground. The village has been known as Vroişa (Vroisha in English) for hundreds of years; sometime after 1974, the Republic of Cyprus changed its official name to "Frodisia".[2]
