GIOVANNI MARITI
Travels in the Island of Cyprus

Mesaria
75
On the road turning south from Acerito are several ancient churches, without a house near them. Each one had formerly its own village or hamlet ; now some are partly ruined, some intact, and used occasionally by the Greeks for worship.
At the end of the plain of Mesaria, in a small valley, lies the village of Timbo, inhabited and tilled. It possesses a well of exquisite water, which makes it a favourite halting place for travellers from Famagusta and Carpasso.
From Timbo you descend a gentle hill to Fendria : the village is destroyed, the church, and country house built there by an English consul are in ruins. Following the seashore you leave on the right Livadia, a village described in my journey to Nicosia, and at twenty miles distance from Acerito reach Larnaca.
