Lost Place Tour Lefke. There is a remote corner in North Cyprus where time feels strangely paused — a place shaped by industry, abandoned dreams and the quiet reclaiming power of nature. The Lost Place Tour Lefke takes you deep into the western part of the Turkish side of Cyprus, where a former open-pit copper mining area left behind an extraordinary scenery that has remained, for more than 50 years, slightly forgotten and wonderfully unreal.
On this Lost Place Tour Lefke, you will walk through a landscape that feels like a film set: old houses with small bars and shops still standing, rusty infrastructure, and industrial relics scattered along a breathtaking coastline. It’s a rare blend of raw history and natural beauty — and one of the most atmospheric hidden corners of the island.

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.

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.

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.

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.
