As a tribute to the Cypriot Struggle, the Municipality Abdera provided a place to the Association of Cypriot of Xanthi, which created the "Grove of the Missing." The creation of this memorial was and is the creation of collective memory space, tribute to the dead and the missing, as well as a space of leisure time for its residents. For the reasons of symbolism, trees was planted to represent those missing persons of Cyprus and every tree was named after of each missing person.
