Athalassa: Picnic Area - Agios Georgios

The Picnic Area to Agios Georgios walk is a gentle urban-park route through Athalassa National Forest Park, connecting two of the park's main gathering points. Starting at the busy Picnic Area with its tables and facilities, the path rolls through eucalyptus and pine groves, passing near the Athalassa Dam and its observation point before reaching the quieter Agios Georgios chapel area with its small lake and lit perimeter path. At just over 4 km, it is a proper outing rather than a quick stroll — enough distance to feel purposeful — but entirely flat and accessible, ideal for families, dog walkers, runners, and anyone looking for a green escape on Nicosia's edge without technical challenge.
