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.
