The villages of Liopetri, Sotira and Xylophagou are part of the 'Red Soil Villages' in the Famagusta province. Just as an aside, the area around Liopetri, Paralimni, Sotira, Xylophagou, Frenaros, and Dheryneia is responsible for almost all the potatoes produced in Cyprus. The local real estate market is booming, since these villages are all within a 15 minute drive of Ayia Napa.

Liopetri is becoming very popular with the English, and communities are developing.  See the link below for more historical information on Liopetri village.
