Archaeological site in the western forest of the Akrotiri peninsula in southern Cyprus. The best studied portions of the site focus on a transept basilica, but it was part of a larger complex, stretching to the east and north. Numismatic evidence dates the construction to c. AD 617, and decline in the use of the site after 640. It has been suggested that it was associated with displaced clergy from Alexandria or Jerusalem during the Sasanid Persian occupation of the Roman provinces of Palestine and Egypt.
