Cyprus: Private Lost Places & Mining Heritage Tour

Discover a different side of Cyprus on an exclusive private tour through Skouriotissa and Lefke. See dramatic mining landscapes, yellow mining trains, lost industrial sites and a coastal shipwreck.
Leave the usual tourist routes behind and discover a very different side of Cyprus on an exclusive private tour.

Begin your journey at Skouriotissa, an area closely connected with the island’s long copper-mining history. From a viewpoint, look across the striking mining landscape with its unusual colors and remarkable green waters inside the mining area.

From here, continue through the beautiful countryside of the Solea region. Citrus trees, olive groves and mountain scenery accompany the journey as you travel towards the Green Line.

After crossing into Northern Cyprus, continue towards Lefke and discover another fascinating chapter of Cyprus’ mining heritage.

One of the most unusual sights along the way is a collection of bright yellow mining locomotives and old ore wagons. Once part of an industrial railway network, they are remarkable reminders of the region’s mining past.

Continue towards the Mediterranean coast, where more forgotten industrial remains await. Discover old loading facilities that once connected the mining industry with maritime transport.

Nearby, an old tugboat wreck rests beside the coast. Rust, sea and industrial history create one of the most atmospheric and unusual sights of the tour.

Throughout the journey, nature and history constantly meet. Former industrial landscapes contrast with orchards, mountain scenery and the blue Mediterranean.

This is not a classic sightseeing tour of Cyprus. Instead, it is a private journey into the island’s lesser-known past, filled with Lost Places, mining heritage and unusual sights that many visitors never discover.
