There is a place where steel giants sleep beneath the open sky, where rusting armor stands frozen in time, and where silence has replaced the thunder of engines. You can join with us a Tank Cemetery Lost Places Tour. This forgotten military landscape, simply known as the Tank Cemetery, is one of the most atmospheric Lost Places in Cyprus.
Scattered across rugged ground and shaped by decades of sun, wind and salt, the abandoned tanks and armored vehicles create a haunting tableau of history reclaimed by nature. Their shattered hulls, twisted metal and fading camouflage tell stories without words — stories of another era, a different world, a past that lingers quietly in the air.
Here, among the skeletal remains of machines once built for power, you walk through a surreal open-air museum of decay and memory. It is a place for explorers, photographers, dreamers and those who seek meaning in forgotten things.

St. Hilarion Castle Cyprus stands at 732m and is very well preserved. Walls and towers seem to grow randomly out of the rock, giving the castle a fairytale appearance. It is even said that Walt Disney used it as a model for the castle in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The castle is named after a hermit who fled Palestine in the 7th century to live up here and rid the mountain of pagan demons. The story goes that the hermit was deaf and so easily resisted the seductive calls of the demons that haunted the mountain. Eventually the demons gave in and left Hilarion and the mountain alone. A Byzantine monastery and later a fortress were built around his tomb.
