The village is the successor of the ancient city Tremithus or Tremithous (), mentioned by Ptolemy, Hierocles, George of Cyprus, Stephanus of Byzantium and other ancient geographers. The imperial claimnant Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus was defeated here in 1191 by Richard I of England, who afterwards took possession of Cyprus. The city was then destroyed and survives only as a village.
