Lakatamia

Getting there and around. Lakatamia is served by Cyprus Public Transport bus line 2, which runs from Dionysios Solomos Square in central Nicosia into the municipality roughly every 20 minutes between 5:25am and 10:51pm. Routes 15 and 22 also connect Lakatamia to Strovolos and the Makario Stadium area, with Archbishop Makarios III Avenue acting as the main arterial link into central Nicosia.Source ↗

Good to know. Lakatamia's name likely comes from the Greek word for water wheels, alakatia, reflecting a history of more than 80 wells once used to draw underground water in the area; the water wheel is now the municipality's emblem.Source ↗

Nearby. Lakatamia is one of the seven municipalities of Greater Nicosia and borders Strovolos, Latsia and Engomi, as well as the villages of Tseri, Deftera, Ayious Trimithias and Paliometoxo.Source ↗
