Arapköy (Greek: Klepini) may be the medieval (Maronite) village Cleipiris, which was already mentioned in 1596 (by Jerome Dandini, a professor of theology at Purugia, sent to Cyprus by Pope Clement VIII).

If you live there or in the area: did you ever find a small ruined church of medieval character near the village?

I haven't found this ruin (yet!) and would very much appreciate any information. Thank you!

=> Sorry, I fail to understand what you are trying to communicate. Or is it my lack of the sense of British humour?
