Melandra (Greek: Μελάνδρα, also spelled Μελάντρα, Turkish: Beşiktepe) is an abandoned Turkish Cypriot village in the Paphos District of Cyprus, located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) southeast of Lysos. Prior to 1974, the village was inhabited by Turkish Cypriots.[2] The village is completely destroyed, apparently by shelling. The only two buildings that were not touched are the mosque and the orthodox chapel.
