Posessions left inside a house in the abandoned village of Old Theletra, Cyprus

---

The Cypriot village of Theletra was abandoned some time around the 1980s due to an earthquake. Residents moved to a new village known as New Theletra on the top of the hill. Personal items left in the houses show how quickly people had to flee their homes.
