Misspelling, or mis-transliteration?[edit]

"Greek: Καρμυλλησός, Karmylassos"

The Greek doesn't correspond to the transliteration, although I'm not positive that it should. It seems to me that it should be "Karmyllesos" (or "Karmullesos"?), especially because that's closer to "Carmylessus", the name mentioned a bit later in the text. One doesn't need to know the Greek alphabet to see doubled and single consonants. However, I'm no expert on this topic.

Possibly wrong word ("sights" vs. "sites")[edit]

I note the following text: "...including two Greek Orthodox Churches, which remain the most important sights of the ghost town."

My first impression was that "sights" should be replaced with "sites", but then I began to wonder if the original author intended this to mean "things to be seen by visitors" (sights) or "locations within the town" (sites).

The meanings are distinctly different, but either could be grammatically correct, so I chose not to edit the page and instead to simply offer the comment here for others to consider.
