Fikardou village, Cyprus (Αίγια Φούξια)

A small village that has been made popular by a Cypriot comedy TV series and a lot of people are visiting it.

During the winter it has only 4 inhabitants (though there are more people staying there during their summer holidays). I’m guessing that the houses in the photo above must be the inhabited ones and the houses in the photo below (in the comments) are the ones that are empty.

The village has been declared an ancient monument and carefully restored to preserve the 18th century houses with their remarkable woodwork and folk architecture. It has received the Europa Nostra Award in 1987.

The Cypriot comedy TV series Αίγια Φούξια (Aigia Fuxia) shows the life in Cyprus 100 years ago and its main plot is about the mystery when 15 people died on the same day and nobody knows why.
