Athienou

Athienou (Greek: Αθηένου or Αθηαίνου, locally [aθiˈenu]) is a village in Larnaca District, Cyprus.

It is one of only four villages located within the United Nations Buffer Zone, the other three being Pyla, Troulloi and Deneia.

The town's city hall includes a museum of local history and culture that was established in 2008.

According to another theory, the name derives from a Lusignan called Étienne, who lived in the area, and the people who lived in the village were mentioning his house as "Etienne's Place" (Greek: "Στου Ετιένου", stou etiennou), and in later years that changed into Athienou.

[4][5][6] In ancient time, the town Golgoi [el] existed near modern Athienou.
