Diorios or Dhiorios (Greek: Διόριος, Turkish: Tepebaşı) is a village in the Kyrenia District of Cyprus, 2 km west of Myrtou. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus. Diorios is the second largest administrative area in the district of Kyrenia.[3] Its administrative limits reach to the southern Nicosia-Kyrenia border. Most of the administrative area of the village is covered by dense pine forest, while in other areas sparsely-vegetated land allows for the cultivation of cereals and carob and olive trees.[3] The surrounding forest occupies an area of 8,400 acres, or 1,124.4 hectares. The village itself covers an area of 27,587 acres, or 36.9 square miles.
