Eledio is a village located in hills above the Ezousa Valley, sixteen kilometers north east of Paphos (Ktima) and immediately north east of the Village of Axylou in the province of Paphos.
Originally, the village of Eledio was about 2 km south, but it was moved to its present location after the earthquakes of 1953, when the village suffered serious damage.

Eledio was a mixed village inhabited by Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. The British Colonial Government of Cyprus decided to move the villages of Eledio and Axylos to another location (close to one another) by building houses for the residents.

In the old village of Eledio there was until 1821 the Holy Monastery of Saint Irene. During the earthquakes of 1953, the church of Saint Irene became badly damaged but not destroyed. However, due to the indifference of the inhabitants, the Government and the Metropolis of Pafos, it collapsed after nothing was done by anyone to maintain it. Today the temple of the Monastery of Agia Irene in the old village of Eledio lies in ruins. In the new village they built a very beautiful, small temple, which was once again dedicated to Saint Irene as a replacement for the old temple. |
