Early life
Savas was born to Persephone Charalambous Tsivikou and Charalambos Savas Tsivikos in Innia, Paphos, Cyprus. The first of three children born to a family of farmers, he joined his parents at a young age herding sheep and harvesting a variety of grains, grapes, olives, almonds, and other staples. His family sold the products of their farming to the farming cooperatives on the Island. Having been born only eleven years before the Turkish occupation of Cyprus, it had a pronounced affect on his upbringing, and would prove to be a focus of his activism later in life. At age seven, Savas had a near death experience after being bitten by a poisonous scorpion while accompanying his parents on the fields. He was treated at his own in home in the village of Innia by the village elders with homemade remedies. Savas attended elementary school at the village school in Innia, he later attended middle and high school at Third Gymnasium in Paphos. At age eleven Turkey began an illegal occupation of the island of Cyprus. During the invasion, Savas and his sister Evanthia, hid in a fig tree while Turkish fighter jets soared overhead. [2]
