Kythrea (Greek: Κυθρέα or Κυθραία; Turkish: Değirmenlik) is a small town in Cyprus, 10 km northeast of Nicosia.

According to another tradition, it derives from the name of the Greek Ionian island Kythera, from where millstones were transferred to Kythrea's watermills.

[8][9] Contemporary documents are lacking concerning Demetrianus, whom Henri Grégoire described as perhaps the most obscure of the local saints of Cyprus.

According to the oldest Life of Demetrianos, published in the 18th century, he became bishop in around 885, was captured by Arabs and taken to Egypt with many of his faithful, but by his prayers obtained the liberation of all.

[12] In the Middle Ages, Kythrea hosted flourmills that belonged to the King of Cyprus, powered by its water springs.

At the end of the 13th century, flour produced in the Kythrea mills provided the supply for the production of bread in the capital, Nicosia.

[19] Değirmenlik Sports Club was founded in 1975,[20][21] and now in Cyprus Turkish Football Association (CTFA) K-PET 1st League.
