Cyprus has a fascinating story hidden beneath its landscape. Cyprus mining history reaches back thousands of years and is closely connected with copper, minerals and the remarkable geology of the island.
The mineral-rich rocks of Cyprus made the island an important centre of copper production in the ancient world. Over the centuries, mining continued to shape not only the economy and history of Cyprus, but also parts of its landscape.

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.

Discover some of the most unique places in Cyprus through our collection of photos and videos. Beyond the island’s famous beaches, ancient sites and picturesque villages lies another Cyprus – colourful, rugged and surprisingly wild.
Former mining areas have created extraordinary landscapes where industrial history and nature now meet. Intense mineral colours, abandoned quarries, forgotten structures and lakes in remarkable shades of red, green and turquoise make these places unlike the Cyprus most visitors expect to see.
