thumb | right | A map of Anagyia. Anagyia (), also known as Anageia (), is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, which lies approximately 15 km south of the capital Nicosia, just south of the village of Pano Deftera and north of the village of Ergates. The river Pedieos flows along the east side of the village, forming the municipal border between it and the neighbouring communities of Pano Deftera and Psimolofou.
The name of the village comes from the Ancient Greek words "ἀνά" (ana) and "ἀγυιά" (agyia), meaning "upper" and "road". The name is associated with a historic small road that leads to the village and deviates from the road that connects Nicosia with the mountainous area of Pitsilia.
