About Akropolis Park

Akropolis Park sits between Strovolos and the city centre. It is a landscaped town park rather than a forest: wide lawns, water features and paths, with a children’s playground and a basketball court.

The large café-restaurant inside the park means parents can sit down while children play, and the late opening makes it a good option once the summer heat has eased.
