Skylloura (Greek: Σκυλλούρα, Turkish: Yılmazköy) is village located in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, about halfway between the towns of Morphou and Nicosia. In the town the two main roads Morphou-Nicosia and Kyrenia-Lapithos-Skylloura meet.
Since the Turkish invasion in 1974, the village has been solely inhabited by Turkish mainland settlers.[2]
