Beletsi Lake

The lake Beletsi is a small lake located at an altitude of 600 meters on the eastern slopes of Mount Parnitha, southwest of the Beletsi peak. This artificial lake was created about thirty years ago, when the opening of a forest road to connect the Agios Merkourios with Afidnes (Kiourka) blocked the passage of water which springs from the sources, resulting in the formation of the lake . Today is an important area where we find migratory birds and fish, mainly carp.

It is practically unknown to many people. This, combined (thankfully) with the lack of cafes, tavernas or related activities, makes the lake a place of calm and tranquility.

There is a playground, unfortunately in bad condition. There is however a basketball court. And of course, several little bridges and benches to enjoy the lake, the ducks, the swan, turtle and the deers which live in an enclosure.

To reach the lake Beletsi, leave Kiourka (Afidnai) and ascend to "Ippokratios Politeia". Follow signs to Agia Triada (Agia Triada Street or Dekelia street) and after a while there is a sign towards the lake. The lake is situated only 100 meters above the main road.
