The Troodos Mountain Range is the geological and morphological backbone of Cyprus. The Troodos Mountains are covered with forests which have unique natural beauties and accommodate precious plant and animal habitats as well as graphic villages which maintain many of the traditions of the area. To the west it begins from the Paphos district and to the east it extends to the Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca districts.

In the heart of the mountain range is the Troodos forest with the highest peaks (1952 m). Its largest part is around 9,300 hectares or 9, 3 square kilometres and has been proclaimed as a National Forest Park in 1992. The aim of the proclamation was to maintain and evaluate its precious operations and values: ecological, scientific, hydrologic, and recreational and tourist.

Amiantos Mine, Limassol, Cyprus 🇨🇾 Photo by @cyprusfromair
Cyprus is considered to be one of the most ancient sources of amiantos. During the Classic and Roman period, amiantos was used for the creation of sheets of incineration of the dead, for footwear and for fuses in lights.

The latest history of the exploitation of amiantos begins during the 20th century when the gold type of amiantos began being used in the industry. In 1904 some villages were given the privilege to exploit amiantos on the slopes of eastern Troodos where rich areas containing amiantos were found. One of these areas was Pano Amiantos a village in the Limassol district , located 7 kilometres southwest of the Kyperounda village.

The exploitation rights of the amiantos were given to the company <Cypriot Amiantos Mines Ltd> in 1934, which began the process to extract the amiantos during 1950 and worked until 1988.The amiantos is extracted from the land and this created various changes to the morphology and the vegetation in the area. The long operation of the mine with the method of surfaced exploitation affected the natural environment in the area and had direct and indirect consequence on the greater environment.

Avakas gorge is an amazing masterpiece of nature and it is located at the start of the Akamas peninsula, 16 km west of Paphos (Pafos). It is one of the natural wonders of Paphos region and one of the best places to visit in Cyprus, especially for people who love walking as it offers magnificent nature views, including rich local flora and fauna. One key element that can also be found in the gorge is the endangered centauria akamantis which is an endemic plant.

The Avakas gorge was created by a raging stream which was flowing over the limestone for thousands of years, creating walls up to 30 meters in height and magnificent rock formations and is 3 km long. Due to the formations of the rocks and by being too narrow at one point, the gorge is considered as a difficult hike. In addition there are slippery places and a certain amount of clambering over stones and rocks is required by visitors. It is recommended that casual – sport clothes and footwear should be worn and travellers are advised to carry with them drinks all time and should inform of someone before entering the gorge.

🌅🚢 M/V EDRO III resting off the rocks near the Sea Caves northwest of Paphos, Cyprus 🇨🇾
Photo by @yiannos_sofocleous

The Edro III Shipwreck story began in 2011 and in particularly late on the night of the 7th of October with the flag of Sierra Leone, the property of an Albanian ship-owner. The crew was made up of 9 sailors (7 Albanians and 2 Egyptians) and departed from the port of Limassol with Rhodes as its destination.

It is worth mentioning that the ship was loaded with gypsum boards and the weather was deemed fit for the voyage. The ship crossed the mild sea, directed towards the west to the open sea.

Suddenly, a severe storm ruined the voyage of the ship and after many hours of fighting with the waves in the darkness it was stuck in the rocks, during the morning of the 8th of October 2011. These rocks are only a few metres from the coast of Peyia and 1300 from the ship Dimitrios II, another abandoned ship which was stuck in the rocks of Chloraka area in Paphos. The crew was saved by a local British military Helicopter.

The shipwreck is located 200 metres from the sea caves of Paphos, a nice combination for photographs as the sea meets land. The particular area of the shipwreck is protected and integrated in the programme Natura 2000. (Link in Bio)

Kalavasos Tenta, Larnaca, Cyprus 🇨🇾
Photo by @gkarambatsos
Kalavasos Tenta refers to a hill which is about 20 meters high, over the west side of the Valley of Vasiliko, 2.5kilometres from the village Kalavasos.
The hill was named Tenta , according to tradition due to the fact that this was the position which Agia Eleni set camp at in 327 A.D when she returned from Jerusalem with the cross used to crucify Jesus. The hill is located at a strategic point, on the road which connects the Troodos Mountain with the sea as well as the road which run towards the south coast of the island. It has a panoramic view of the whole valley and it is located near the Vasiliko River, at a point which can be crossed easily. It is located near sources of natural wealth (gypsum, asbestos, red ochre) and also has a natural fortification. For all these reasons it was the ideal place for the creation of an ancient community.

💙Blue Lagoon, Akamas, Paphos, Cyprus 🇨🇾
Photo by @oliowens

The blue lagoon beach could have easily taken the name of heaven. It is located to the west of Akamas in the Paphos district. It is an amazing place and the crystal waters in this bay in the Akamas peninsula give you the ability to see the sea depths.

Access to this bay is by boat or a four wheel drive car. The cleanliness of the water, its colour and in general the aura will make you love it and dive into the cool water or just gaze at the breath-taking view.

🌅Goodmorning from Paralimni, Ammochostos, Cyprus 🇨🇾
Photo by @alexxarg
aralimni is the largest community of the rich valley in the Ammochostos district and is located in the southeast part of Cyprus, a point which someone can enjoy the first sunrise in all of Europe. The roots of the village are from very far away. From the Hellenistic period it was built in the ancient town of Lefkolla. Today there is nothing left from this town. During the Byzantine years Paralimni was the smallest community, or actually it was made up from many smaller agriculture communities. The largest of them must have been built between the old village and the area where the Lyceum is built today, near the church of Agios Dimitrios. This is obvious from the remains of the community which are scattered in the field of the village in the form of many small rocks. In the area, many farmers happened to find various items which witness the existence of the community. The most important findings are the byzantine coins.

Sirena Bay, Ayia Napa, Ammochostos, Cyprus 🇨🇾 Photo by @gkarambatsos
Sirena beach is located in the middle of Ayia Napa and Protaras and is preferred by couples looking for peace and quiet.

It is a small secluded bay also known as Sirena Bay a name which it has borrowed from a nearby café-bar.

Earlier on the beach was known as Mina beach due to a byzantine Lord in the area.

Hidden by the reeds, forgotten in time and the many visitors in the area, the water with all its shades of blue, tempts anyone to dive in.

🌅🚢 M/V EDRO III resting off the rocks near the Sea Caves northwest of Paphos, Cyprus 🇨🇾
Photo by @magda_chrysostomou
The Edro III Shipwreck story began in 2011 and in particularly late on the night of the 7th of October with the flag of Sierra Leone, the property of an Albanian ship-owner. The crew was made up of 9 sailors (7 Albanians and 2 Egyptians) and departed from the port of Limassol with Rhodes as its destination.

It is worth mentioning that the ship was loaded with gypsum boards and the weather was deemed fit for the voyage. The ship crossed the mild sea, directed towards the west to the open sea.

Suddenly, a severe storm ruined the voyage of the ship and after many hours of fighting with the waves in the darkness it was stuck in the rocks, during the morning of the 8th of October 2011. These rocks are only a few metres from the coast of Peyia and 1300 from the ship Dimitrios II, another abandoned ship which was stuck in the rocks of Chloraka area in Paphos. The crew was saved by a local British military Helicopter.

The shipwreck is located 200 metres from the sea caves of Paphos, a nice combination for photographs as the sea meets land. The particular area of the shipwreck is protected and integrated in the programme Natura 2000. (Link in Bio)
