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.

Cyprus History Tours: Exploring the Legacy of 1974

Our Cyprus 1974 tours introduce you to places where the island’s recent history remains visible. Beyond beaches and ancient monuments, discover sites connected with the events of 1974 and their lasting impact.

Through private visits, explore deserted streets, museum displays and places of remembrance. Along the way, learn about the background of each destination and the people whose lives were affected.

For example, visit the accessible streets of Varosha, where empty hotels and former homes recall a very different past. Alternatively, explore the Peace and Freedom Museum with its indoor exhibits and outdoor displays of historic military equipment.

This selection also includes abandoned villages that offer a broader view of Cyprus’ recent history. However, each village has its own story. Their abandonment should not automatically be attributed to 1974.

Rather than treating these places as ordinary attractions, we explore them with respect for their history. There is also time to observe the surroundings, ask questions and take photographs where permitted.

All our Cyprus 1974 tours are private, exclusive and individually tailored. You travel only with the people included in your booking. As a result, you can explore at your own pace and focus on what interests you.

Moreover, your tour takes place even when just one person books. There is no minimum group size, and we never add other guests.
