Arsos (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Άρσος; Turkish: Yiğitler) is a village in Cyprus, about 32km (20miles) east of Nicosia. De facto, it is under the control of Northern Cyprus.

The construction of a road from Arsos to Pyla is one of the conditions that Northern Cyprus requested from Republic of Cyprus in return for the opening of the Limnitis crossing. A golden necklace was found in the village.[1]
