Kampyli (Greek: Καμπυλή; Turkish: Hisarköy “castle village”, previously Kambilli) is a small Turkish Cypriot village in Cyprus, located approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) east of Myrtou. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus. In 1831, 30% of the village's inhabitants were Maronites. They all left by 1940, and, around that time, Muslim families from Larnakas tis Lapithou moved into Kampyli.[3] As of 2011, Kampyli had population of 194.
