Xyliatos

The easy 3.6 km loop around Xyliatos Dam in the Nicosia district circles an artificial lake through the Adelfoi forest. This accessible trail suits family outings and casual weekend walks, with viewpoints and benches positioned throughout for lake appreciation and wildlife observation. Pine and oak forest zones provide shade, while spring and summer peak seasons bring enhanced flora visibility. The dam's picnic area offers convenient services for full-day excursions.

Wonderful trail around the Xyliatos Reservoir in the forested foothills of the Troodos Mountains. Very easy hike with beautiful views. Best visited before sunset (around 5 p.m. in summer).
