Dali (or Dhali; Greek: Δάλι; Turkish: Dali) is a town in Cyprus, located in the South Nicosia area about 20 km (12 mi) south of central Nicosia and is at an altitude of 220 m (720 ft). It is the largest settlement amongst a group of villages in the area which are connected to Dali by a radial road network. TheRead more dominant element of this area around Dali is the Yialias River, on which the people were dependent in former times.
Dali is built close to the Yialias riverbed, on its southern side. Further north, the municipal area is dissected by the Alikos, a tributary of the Yialias, where the Dali industrial zone is sited. This consists of many light industrial units.
Dali originates from the ancient city of Idalion. In 2001, it had a population of 5,834. By 2011, the population had almost doubled to 10,466, and is now 12,350 (2021 census ).
A stone village on Troodos's southern slopes famed for lefkaritika lace: embroidery Leonardo da Vinci reputedly bought for Milan Cathedral in 1481, and filigree silverwork, still made in doorway workshops along its cobbled lanes.
