Analiontas (Greek:Αναλιόντας;lit. 'upper lion') is a village in theNicosia District ofCyprus, located south ofPera Orinis. The government of Analiontas has attributed both its own name, as well as that of the now-abandoned nearby village ofKataliontas, to the age ofVenetian Cyprus during the 16th century, but maps from the time labeled Analiontas as Anolido. Analiontas is populated byGreek Cypriots; there was previously a minority ofTurkish Cypriots, with the 1946 census recording 35 Turks and 172 Greeks, but they were evicted from the village in 1958 during theCypriot intercommunal violence.[3]
Τhe riverAlikos passes through the village.[4] Most of the village area is cultivated due to good rainfall, with abundant olive trees. Eucalyptus grows along the many streams, most of which are tributaries of the Alikos.[5]
