Malounta Levkosias

The village of Malounta of Nicosia is situated about 30 kilometers from the homonymous capital of the homonymous province of Cyprus, 70 kilometers from Limassol, 55 kilometers from Larnaca and 130 kilometers from Paphos.

Built on the northern slopes of the Troodos mountain range, at an altitude of 415 meters, Malounta of Nicosia took its name from the god Malounta Apollo. The establishment of the settlement is already documented in the Middle Ages, and since the end of the 1970s the Greek Military base is based there.

Malounta Levkosias has two churches, Agios Panigirios, celebrating every year on May 15, and the 18th century Chrysopantanas church. In the area one can visit the ostrich park as well as the “three bridges” (a bridge that has three arches), which was built because for decades it was the only road leading to the other villages of the region. Then, the water dam Akaki-Malounta is another attraction of the area, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape with its deep ravines on the one hand, and the lake it creates on the other.
