Beskrivning
Explore a different side of Cyprus, where nature reclaims abandoned mines and forgotten places, creating extraordinary landscapes of intense colours, rugged scenery and fascinating relics.
Discover a completely different side of Cyprus, where nature is slowly reclaiming abandoned mines and forgotten industrial landscapes.
Leave the usual tourist routes behind and travel into rugged scenery shaped by both nature and Cyprus’ long mining history. Once busy places have fallen silent, leaving behind old structures, processing facilities and other fascinating relics. Around them, vegetation is returning and minerals have transformed rocks, soil and water into remarkable shades of red, green, orange and ochre.
Explore the atmospheric Kokkinogia Mine, where remnants of the former mining industry still rise from the landscape. Weathered structures, exposed rock and returning nature create an impressive contrast and offer unusual perspectives for photography.
Experience the spectacular Red Lake, with its intense rust-red and ochre colours creating an almost surreal scene. Then discover the Green Lake, where vivid water, mineral-rich rock and rugged surroundings reveal yet another face of Cyprus.
The journey continues to the Sha Mine near Mathiatis, an area closely connected to the island’s fascinating mining heritage. Here too, traces of former industry remain embedded in a landscape that continues to change long after mining activity has ceased.
What makes this tour special is the combination of wild nature, extraordinary colours and lost places. It is not a visit to polished tourist attractions, but an exploration of landscapes with their own raw and authentic character.
Take time to discover the details: rusting metal against green vegetation, intensely coloured water surrounded by bare rock, forgotten structures and panoramic views far away from Cyprus’ busy resorts.
This private tour is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, explorers and anyone fascinated by abandoned places, but also for travellers simply looking for something unusual to experience in Cyprus.
Come with us beyond the familiar image of the island and discover what happens when industry disappears and nature begins to take the landscape back.
