Pedieos River Linear Park & Cycleway

14 km lush shaded riverbed parkway winding through Nicosia beneath towering eucalyptus, ideal for cycling.

The Pedieos Linear Park is Nicosia's premier green lung. Following the serpentine dry riverbed of the Pedieos, it weaves for 14 kilometers connecting downtown Nicosia to Strovolos and Lakatamia.

Paved pedestrian paths and dedicated cycle lanes run continuously under giant eucalyptus, plane trees, and bamboo, fitted with drinking fountains, fitness stations, and evening illumination.

Tips before you go

  • Rent a city bike to ride the entire continuous 14 km car-free route.
  • Frequent outdoor exercise stations, children's playgrounds, and dog recreation parks along the path.
  • Following winter rains, the river flows with clear mountain waters.

How to get there

Multiple entry points including near the Presidential Palace, Strovolos Town Hall, and Lakatamia.
