Sarama (

Turkish Cypriot village in the Paphos District of Cyprus, located 7 km south of Lysos. The village was devastated by an earthquake, which appears to be the reason it was deserted, although an insect destructive to the corn crop was reported to be affecting farmers of the village in 1879.[2][3] Thermal springs in the vicinity indicate powerful hydrothermal activity.[4]

Nearby is the north bank of the

Paphos Museum and numerous stone tools have been unearthed in the area.[8][6]
