Kazafani or Kazaphani (Template:Lang-gr, Template:Lang-tr or Ozanköy) is a village in the Kyrenia District of Cyprus. It is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus. A traditionally agricultural village that was originally based around the feudal estate of Casal Pifani (alternatively spelled Pifane). This is referenced in the Histoire de l'Île de Chypre by M. L. de Mas Latrie on page 510[1]. It is one of the mountain villages that the former latin inhabitants of Kyrenia Castle were forced into following the Ottoman Conquest of the island, many of their descendants now populating the village.
