Artemida (Greek: Αρτέμιδα; before 1948: Κουμουθέκρας - Koumouthekras)[2] is a village near Zacharo in southern Elis in the western part of the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece. The village was completely destroyed in the 2007 Greek forest fires. Twenty-three residents of Artemida lost their lives.[3][4][5]

On August 30, 2007, the Government of Cyprus announced that it will reconstruct the village.[6]
