Ayios Nikolaos (Greek: Αγιος Νικόλαος, Turkish: Yamaçköy) is a small village in the Famagusta District of Cyprus, located 8 km north of Psyllatos and 1 km west of Melounta, on the south side of the Kyrenia mountain range. Since 1974, it is chiefly inhabited by Turkish families from the Black Sea city of Trabzon. The former church of Ayios Nikolaos has been converted into a mosque.
