Sysklipos (Greek: Σύσκληπος, Turkish: Akçiçek) is a village in the Kyrenia District of Cyprus, located 3 km east of Larnakas tis Lapithou. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus, inhabited by Turkish Cypriot refugees from Paphos.

The Panayia Chryseleousa church[3] and many houses have been destroyed or abandoned. The risks of collapse are imminent. The European authorities are processing its restoration within 5 years.[citation needed]
