Asprokremmos Reservoir, irrigation reservoir in Phinikas, Paphos district, Cyprus

Asprokremmos Reservoir is Cyprus's second-largest dam, an earth-fill structure completed in 1982 at about 100 m above sea level, 16 km east of Pafos. Its 52.375 million cubic metre lake lies mostly in Phinikas community, with small parts in Anarita, Nikokleia and Mandria, fed by the Xeros River.

Asprokremmos Dam was completed in 1982 as an earth-fill dam forming a reservoir of 52.375 million cubic metres, the second largest in Cyprus by capacity.

The reservoir is stocked with fish including sea bass, carp, mosquito fish, redfin, tilapia and catfish, and amateur fishing is permitted. Its Greek name, Asprokremmos, means 'white sink' and refers to the white limestone of the area. The reservoir lies mostly in the community of Phinikas, with parts in Anarita, Nikokleia and Mandria.
