Tymvou (Greek: Τύμβου, Turkish: Kırklar) is a village located in central Cyprus in the Nicosia District. It resides in the Lefkoşa District of the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (recognised only by Turkey), and is also the location of Nicosia's first airport, built during British colonial rule. The village was originally exclusively inhabited by Greek Cypriots, and in 1960, it had a population of 1133 people. The original population left the village in 1974 following the invasion of Cyprus. As of 2006, the population of the village is 335.
