Alyki
During the winter months
the lake fills with
water.
In the summer
the water
evaporates, leaving a crust
of salt.

AlykiThe Legend
According to the legend, St Lazarus asked an old womanfor food and drink. Sherefused, claiming that her vineshad dried up. St Lazarusreplied: “may your vines be dryand be a salt lake forever more.”
and …a more scientific explanation
• The salt water penetrates theporous rock between the lake andthe sea, making the water verysalty.

Alyki
• Until recently, salt harvested from Alyki
used to be one of Cyprus major exports.
• It was collected and then carried by donkeys.
• With rising labour costs and
because of the expansion of the urban area,
salt harvesting stopped in 1986.
