Vretsia (Greek: Βρέτσια, Turkish: Vretça) is an abandoned Turkish Cypriot village in the Paphos District of Cyprus, located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Koilineia. After the 1974 war, the Turkish-Cypriot natives of the village were forced to abandon the village and emigrate to the north of Cyprus.
