Zygi (Greek: Ζύγι, Turkish: Terazi [1]) is a small village located in the south of Cyprus between Limassol and Larnaca. The coastline of the Mediterranean Sea lies to the south. Before 1974, substantial Cypriot-Turks lived here and they named it as "Terazi" ("Scales" in Turkish).

The Evangelos Florakis Navy Base explosion of July 11, 2011 damaged every house in the village.
