Omorfita

Omorfita or Kuchuk Kaimakli[3] (Greek: Ομορφίτα [omorˈfita]; Turkish: Küçük Kaymaklı [cyˈtʃyc kajmakˈɫɯ]) is a northeastern quarter of Nicosia, Cyprus.

[1][4] Omorfita has been divided since 1974, its biggest chunk being under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus.

However, Rupert Gunnis states that the suburb took its name from a farm which produced clotted cream which in Turkish is known as Kaymak.

[10] The church of St. Demetrianos dates to the early part of the 20th century and is a single nave with a semi-hexagonal apse on the exterior.

In addition, there are many other non-displaced Turkish Cypriots from elsewhere who have moved to this neighbourhood over the past two decades, living in new developments.

[12] An area of 71 streets in the eastern part of the Neighbourhood remains under the control of the Cyprus government.

Most of these displaced persons moved to the Turkish Cypriot quarter of the walled city Nicosia or to Ortakeuy, Guenyeli and Hamid Mandres.
