Climate

Old Theletra

What many people do not know is that the so-called ‘New Theletra’ at the top of a hill is home to 269 inhabitants, while Old Theletra at the bottom of the hill has hardly any inhabitants, with the old village abandoned because of a huge earthquake that caused a great landslide estimated to have occurred about 40 years ago, as villagers fled their homes and set up a new base higher on the hills.
