Any lakes in Nicosia?

Postby Spetz » Wed Jan 16, 2008 4:20 pm

Are there any lakes, damns, or any large volume of water where I could run a remote control boat?
It's petrol powered and would need about a soccer field space give or take. It can run in the sea but long drive + in the sea can only do it in summer

Thanks guys

There are no lakes in Cyprus ;) They should have some small dams in Nicosia district but I don't think very near to the city.

Try asking your local CTO. I have always found them very helpful :) :)

What's a CTO?

I got cars as well, but high speed nitro powered boats are good fun too

Athalassas Park?

Have you tried Athalassas Park? There's a not terribly big lake there. Bigger than a bathtub though!

There are little dams and thus "lakes" all over the island but find a spot where there's no bird nesting grounds etc.

Why not have a change and go for the ultimate challenge and fly model helicopters.
