Explore the abandoned copper mines in Cyprus on a private journey through colourful landscapes and forgotten industrial sites. Along the way, familiar holiday scenery gives way to a quieter, less expected island.
From weathered mining structures to lakes surrounded by exposed rock, every stop reveals a different scene. Meanwhile, traces of former industry offer glimpses into the working life that once shaped these places.
Our route brings together Kokkinogia Mine, Red Lake, Green Lake and Sha Mine near Mathiatis. Together, they reveal contrasts between mineral colours, rugged ground and vegetation returning around abandoned sites.
With your personal guide, enjoy time to look closer, take photographs and absorb the surroundings. Above all, this experience suits curious travellers seeking unusual places and a relaxed, individual way to explore Cyprus.
