Anthoupolis

Anthoupolis

Anthoupolis is a suburb south of Nicosia, capital city of the Republic of Cyprus. Anthoupolis is a rather new area which was created after the Turkish Invasion of 1974 to house refugees. The original refugee site is slowly abandoned and new houses and projects are being held to regenerate the area. The Greek name means Flower-City or in a more metaphorical sense flowering, expanding city.

Due to its refugee past, the area is considered as rather working class.

Anthoupolis is a suburb in Larissa city , Greece, only 10 minutes walk from the town center.
