Agridaki

Agridaki (Greek: Αγριδάκι; Turkish: Alemdağ) is a village in Cyprus, located 1 km east of Larnakas tis Lapithou. Agridaki is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus. Before the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the village was inhabited by Greek Cypriots. They fled before the Turkish forces reached the village. Agridaki is now inhabited by Turkish Cypriots from Paphos District.
