Abandoned Village Souskiou.  |
The abandoned Turkish Cypriot village of Souskiou is located in the Dhiarizos valley close to the river Dhiarizos, two kilometres south of the village of Fasoula in the Paphos district.
It was once home to over 300 Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and is one of the largest abandoned villages you will likely meet on your travels in Cyprus.
During the intercommunal strife of 1963-64, Souskiou became an important stronghold of Turkish Cypriot Fighters. It also served as a reception centre for some displaced Turkish Cypriots from Kidasi Village during this period.

Visited here a few years ago and very interesting. Lots of abandoned properties but worth a visit. Need sturdy footwear and may have to walk across a river.
