Discover Lost Places Cyprus
Beyond the famous beaches, resorts and ancient monuments, Cyprus hides another fascinating world. Abandoned villages, former mining areas, forgotten industrial sites and traces of the island’s more recent history tell stories that many visitors never discover.
Our Lost Places Cyprus galleries show these locations as we experience them during our own tours. Therefore, the photos and videos do not simply present interesting abandoned places. They give you a real impression of destinations that you can explore with Sancytours.
Our private and exclusive tours take you beyond the usual tourist routes. You can discover old mining landscapes, abandoned settlements, forgotten railway remains, unusual historical locations and places where nature slowly reclaims what people once built. Moreover, a private tour gives you time to explore, take photographs and experience each location without the rush of a large group.
If a Lost Place catches your attention, you can visit it with us. Sancytours offers private tours to the locations featured throughout these galleries. In addition, our Infothek provides more background information about selected places, their history and their significance in Cyprus.
Explore the galleries, discover the stories behind these forgotten places and book your own private Lost Places experience with Sancytours.

Luna Park Cyprus. 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.
Luna Park Cyprus 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 Cyprus 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 Cyprus.
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.
