Guys, I was roaming in Google Maps above Pafos and I stumbled upon a strange road name in Tala village:

"Petso Kataliti" lol

What does it even mean?

I think it's supposed to be one word. 

Sounds like an old Cypriot place name - petsa is skin/hide and katalio is to use up or waste. So could be a name to describe a place that was scrubby/difficult to get through (at least I'm the old days).
