Today we stumbled upon a Lost Place Cyprus that immediately captivated us — hidden in nature, far from any path, and carrying an atmosphere that felt old, quiet and entirely forgotten.
What we found was a cave-like interior with soot on the ceiling and a flat stone surface that made us wonder whether this place might once have been used for prayer or gatherings. In Cyprus, there are several Lost Place Cyprus of this kind that were once used as small chapels or hermit shelters — but whether this site served a similar purpose remains unknown.

Foinikas – often whispered about as the Foinikas Templar Knights Village – is a hauntingly beautiful ghost settlement that feels suspended between history and myth. Abandoned homes stand open to the wind, stone doorframes lead into silence, and the surrounding landscape slowly, gently reclaims what once belonged to generations long gone.
Here, the past is not just seen — it is felt. The soft sound of the breeze, the warm scent of wild herbs and the distant shimmer of thereservoir create an atmosphere unlike any other place on the island.

For thousands of years, Cyprus was the beating heart of the ancient copper world. A land whose red earth and shimmering ores shaped civilizations across the Mediterranean. Today, the traces of this immense history lie scattered in the landscape like open secrets: abandoned mine pits glowing in surreal colours, silent processing plants reclaimed by wild nature, forgotten tunnels carved deep into the rock, and a landscape where human ambition once burned as fiercely as the Cypriot sun.
On our Cyprus Copper Mines Lost Places Tour, you explore these haunting remnants of a bygone era. Vast open mines shine in vibrant reds, oranges and golds, cliffs display surreal mineral patterns and iron caps, and lake basins shimmer in dramatic hues.
These lands feel both ancient and strangely futuristic, like walking on the surface of an undiscovered planet.

There is a place where steel giants sleep beneath the open sky, where rusting armor stands frozen in time, and where silence has replaced the thunder of engines. You can join with us a Tank Cemetery Lost Places Tour. This forgotten military landscape, simply known as the Tank Cemetery, is one of the most atmospheric Lost Places in Cyprus.
Scattered across rugged ground and shaped by decades of sun, wind and salt, the abandoned tanks and armored vehicles create a haunting tableau of history reclaimed by nature. Their shattered hulls, twisted metal and fading camouflage tell stories without words — stories of another era, a different world, a past that lingers quietly in the air.
Here, among the skeletal remains of machines once built for power, you walk through a surreal open-air museum of decay and memory. It is a place for explorers, photographers, dreamers and those who seek meaning in forgotten things.

Hidden deep within the forests and valleys of the Troodos Mountains lies a network of stone bridges that once connected ancient trade routes and linked remote villages across the island. These Cyprus Medieval Bridges, shaped by Venetian craftsmanship and centuries of weather, blend so naturally into the landscape that they feel like part of the forest itself.
On our Cyprus Medieval Bridges Tour, you follow winding roads, mountain rivers and shaded trails through some of the island’s most beautiful natural scenery. The journey leads you from bridge to bridge — each with its own character, its own story and its own setting, framed by pine forests, dramatic gorges, quiet villages and the ever-changing moods of the mountain wilderness.
If you wish, the experience becomes even richer during your Cyprus Medieval Bridges with a stop at a small, privately run winery, where you can enjoy a tasting of authentic Cypriot wines before visiting the final bridge of the day.

Hidden on the outskirts of Larnaca lies one of Cyprus’ most unusual and haunting Lost Places — a silent amusement park left behind by time. Once filled with laughter, bright lights and the thrill of spinning rides, the Abandoned Luna Park Cyprus now stands frozen in stillness. Sun-faded colours, rusted metal and empty pathways evoke a strange mixture of nostalgia and mystery, as if the echoes of childhood joy still linger in the air.
This is a place where imagination and reality meet: broken carousels, overgrown attractions, forgotten ticket booths and surreal structures that feel like scenes from a dream.
For photographers, urban explorers and lovers of atmospheric locations, the Luna Park is a rare and captivating opportunity to experience Cyprus far beyond the known and expected.

Along a rugged stretch of the western coastline lies one of Cyprus’ most iconic and haunting Lost Places — the Edro III Shipwreck.
Stranded on the rocks since 2011, the vessel Edro III Shipwreck Cyprus stands tilted against the wild sea, battered by waves, winds and time. Rust traces its hull like fading memories, seabirds circle above the broken mast, and the constant breath of the Mediterranean surrounds the ship with an atmosphere both melancholic and majestic.
The Edro III Shipwreck Cyprus is a place where nature and tragedy intertwine, where the ocean slowly claims what once belonged to mankind, and where dramatic scenery offers endless inspiration for photography, contemplation and quiet exploration. The combination of raw cliffs, crashing waves and the towering steel hull creates a scene unlike any other on the island — powerful, mesmerizing and deeply poetic.
