Special Moments Gallery Cyprus
Cyprus is full of surprises. Sometimes the most memorable discoveries are not famous attractions or planned stops. They are the unusual places, local events, fascinating details and unexpected moments you discover while exploring the island.
Our Special Moments in Cyprus galleries bring together photos and videos captured by Sancytours along the way. You may discover colourful festivals, Christmas markets, music events, unusual buildings, animals, fascinating nature or places with a mysterious atmosphere. Therefore, every gallery can show a completely different side of Cyprus.
Unlike the destinations featured in our regular tour galleries, not everything shown here is part of a fixed Sancytours tour. However, that does not necessarily mean you cannot experience it yourself.
Did something in one of our galleries catch your attention? Contact Sancytours and tell us what you would like to see or experience. Whenever possible, we can create a private and individual experience around your interests.

This gallery offers a visual journey into Agios Sozomenos, an abandoned village near Nicosia where time seems to have stood still. The images capture the silent beauty of crumbling houses, overgrown paths and the impressive remains of the Gothic Church of Saint Mamas — a place shaped by history, loss and quiet endurance.
Through light, texture and detail, the gallery reflects the unique atmosphere of Agios Sozomenos Cyprus: untouched, unpolished and deeply moving. It is not a place of restoration or explanation, but one that invites reflection and a closer look at Cyprus’ lesser-known past.
Agios Sozomenos Cyprus is a largely unknown abandoned village located close to Nicosia, near the Green Line that divides the island.
Today, Agios Sozomenos Cyprus stands as a place of silence, where collapsed homes, overgrown paths and weathered stone structures tell the story of a once-lived community.
Unlike restored heritage sites, Agios Sozomenos Cyprus remains untouched, offering an authentic glimpse into Cyprus’ recent and medieval past.
