My quest to find deserted villages in Cyprus has taken another leap forward.  Again, just like happened with Pitargou, it was a casual conversation when somebody mentioned Zacharia.

It took a bit of research, and I found where Zacharia was.  And in doing so, I discovered it's one of a group of four deserted villages in the Paphos Forest, the others being Sarama, Istinjo and Melandra.

"Where do you live?" I asked.  "Letymbou.  Well just outside Letymbou actually, on the road to the deserted Turkish village at Pitargou." 

I'm fascinated by the deserted Turkish villages in the Republic of Cyprus, so I had to go and have a look.
