Analiontas (Greek: Αναλιόντας; lit. 'upper lion') is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, located south of Pera Orinis. The government of Analiontas has attributed both its own name, as well as that of the now-abandoned nearby village of Kataliontas, to the age of Venetian Cyprus during the 16th century, but maps from the time labeled Analiontas as Anolido. Analiontas is populated by Greek Cypriots; there was previously a minority of Turkish Cypriots, with the 1946 census recording 35 Turks and 172 Greeks, but they were evicted from the village in 1958 during the Cypriot intercommunal violence.[3]

Τhe river Alikos 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]
