Unique Places in Cyprus – Colourful Lakes, Lost Places & Nature
Discover some of the most unique places in Cyprus through our collection of photos and videos. Beyond the island’s famous beaches, ancient sites and picturesque villages lies another Cyprus – colourful, rugged and surprisingly wild.
Former mining areas have created extraordinary landscapes where industrial history and nature now meet. Intense mineral colours, abandoned quarries, forgotten structures and lakes in remarkable shades of red, green and turquoise make these places unlike the Cyprus most visitors expect to see.
Among these unique places in Cyprus are the spectacular Red Lake and Green Lake, as well as Kokkinogia Mine, Sha Mine, Mathiatis Mine and Skouriotissa Mine. Each location has its own character, colours and fascinating traces of the island’s long mining past.
What makes these landscapes particularly fascinating is the way nature is slowly taking them back. Vegetation returns to former industrial areas, weathered structures become part of the scenery, and water fills old mining sites and quarries. The result is an unusual combination of wild nature, colourful lakes and lost places in Cyprus.
Our Mediathek lets you experience these remarkable locations through photos and videos. Discover dramatic rock formations, intensely coloured water, abandoned mining relics and the fascinating contrast between human activity and a landscape gradually being reclaimed by nature.
