The Pedieos River, also known as Pediaios or Pediaeus, is the longest river in Cyprus, originating from the Machairas Forest in the Troodos Mountains. It flows northeast across the Mesaoria plains, passing through the capital city of Nicosia, and eventually meeting the sea at Famagusta Bay near the ancient city of Salamis. The river's banks in Nicosia have been transformed into pedestrian walkways, making it a popular spot for leisurely strolls and nature walks. With a total length of 98 km, the river offers picturesque views and a glimpse into Cyprus' natural beauty and historical heritage. Two dams, including the largest at Tamassos, are constructed along the river, adding to its significance.
