Vasili is a small village in Northern Cyprus, near the Leonarisso and Lythragomi villages.

After the hostilities in 1974[2], population transfers were made in accordance with the population exchange agreement between Turkish and Greek Cypriots (Third Vienna Agreement) under the auspices of United Nations on 2 August 1975; [3] the Greek Cypriots in Vasili moved to the south. In response, the Turkish Cypriots in the south of the island moved to the north, some of which located to Vasili.
