Davlos (, ) is a village in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, located on the northern coast, east of Kyrenia, near Kantara Castle. It is under de facto control of Northern Cyprus, forming part of its İskele District.
== History == The name Davlos is of Ancient Greek provenance δαυλός, having multiple meanings, amongst them "firewood", "half-burnt wood" and "forested place"; it is probably the last that forms the basis of the name of the village, as the area of the village was likely heavily forested in antiquity. A similar etymology has been observed in the ancient Greek town of Daulis, which was similarly founded in a forested area. Nearchos Clerides conjectured that the village would have been founded in pre-Christian times, possibly by refugees from mainland Greece. The village was recorded in medieval maps under the name "Davlo", and was mentioned in Ottoman documents under the name "Davloz".
