Cyprus Tamasos Reservoir

This location is at the northern part of the Tamasos Reservoir. You get a nice view of both the dam and the Troodos Mountain Range towards the South.

You can utilize any focal length there. Use a wide angle lens to include the foreground vegetation or a standard to longer telephoto to compress the scene and have more of the landscape around the dam, or the mountains, in the frame.

There is a path leading to the waterfront, in case you want to try any reflections, when the water is calm.

For astrophotographers: During late summer (August-September), the Milky Way aligns very nicely with the Kionia Mountain Peak in the distant background and the area is sufficiently dark.

You can get to the spot by car. It‘s a 15-20 minute drive from Nicosia, depending on where you are, of course. Any type of vehicle can reach the spot without problems, and at the time of posting this, there is enough space to park in the open fields.

As in all natural areas in Cyprus, pay careful attention for the presence of snakes. A mosquito spray might also be a good idea.
