History Thermeia is an ancient village located to the south-east of Kyrenia and is now a suburb of that town. George Jeffery reports that the village was a ''Çiftlik'', an old Turkish farmstead. A stone-and-pebble paved road from Kyrenia passed through old olive groves to the village. Monuments The oldest building in the village is a small Orthodox church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
