Artemida, Elis

Artemida (Greek, Αρτέμιδα; formerly called Koumouthekra, Κουμουθέκρα) is a village near Zacharo in southern Elis in the western part of the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece. The village was completely destroyed in the 2007 Greek forest fires. Twenty-three residents of Artemida lost their lives [1] [2] .[3]

On August 30, 2007, the Government of Cyprus announced that it will completely reconstruct the village and cover the complete cost of doing so.[4]
