Artemida, Peloponnese

Artemida (Greek, Αρτέμιδα; formerly called Koumoutherka, Κουμουθέκρα) is a village near Zacharo in southwestern Ilia (Elis) prefecture on the northwestern corner of the Peloponnese region 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].
