Turkmenkoy
The village of Turkmenkoy, still frequently called by its original name of Kontea, is on the old Nicosia/Famagusta road, situated on the edge of the Meserya plain. It's not far from the crossing point at Pile.
When the crossing points were opened in 2004, some of the displaced inhabitants took the opportunity to visit their former village, and friendships developed because of the shared experiences of the old and new inhabitants.
To the south of the village, and probably unique in Cyprus, within a 200 yard radius there is a Lusignan mansion, a system of medieval cisterns and aqueducts, a Catholic chapel, a Greek Orthodox church, the original village primary school, and a modern mosque Several of those buildings were (and still are) suffering from the ravages of time, and are in danger of being lost forever, and the new-found friends felt that their preservation would be an example to the rest of the island. As far as is known, this is the only bi-communal collaboration launched by the residents themselves.
