Berengaria Hotel
Enjoy The View
Legend of the Tragic Newlyweds
A newlywed man accidentally fell from one of the hotel rooms to his death. His wife then committed suicide, because she could not stand the thought of living without him.
I wonder what this place looks like in the snow?
The Final Corner
We have reached the end of the line now. If you venture this far up, do tread carefully.
View From The Top
We shall leave you with the lovely view you get from the top of the hotel. It would have been a grand place to visit, and, who knows, perhaps in the future it will be repaired or replaced? Until then, it is a tourist attraction for the more adventurous souls.
Is it worth a trip to see? Not on its own, no. It is a fair old drive from Paphos, and there are more interesting modern ruins far closer to civilisation (see links below).
However, if you are visiting the Troodos then you should definitely include it as part of your itinery, if you like this sort of thing. As we explored we found two other families, complete with kids, wandering about the place. So it really is a tourist attraction. Just treat the place with respect, and don't take stupid risks.
And watch out for the ghosts...

The Abandoned Hospital at Amiantos Mines
The Cyprus Asbestos Mine is situated right in the heart of Troodos forest. Following a continuous operation of 84 years, the mine came to a sudden closure in 1988, leaving behind large volumes of waste tips, a badly designed mine pit and an unacceptable environmental scar to an otherwise heavily forested natural beauty area. It also left behind a hospital, which now stands abandoned on the other side of the valley. While environmental steps have been taken to turn the area near the mines into a nature park, the hospital has been let to nature.
Return to The Abandoned Ranch
The other day we saw an article about a mysterious church that had appeared in the Kouris Reservoir because of the low water level. When we got there it turned out to be a case of bad journalism. However, as we were in the area, we decided to revisit the abandoned Rancho Appaloosa, to see how much it had changed since we first found the place, in 2016.
Pantheon Hall - Part 1
We've always loved urban exploring - visiting abandoned old buildings - and Cyprus has more than its fair share, from old hotels to forgotten hospitals for disused mines. When we discovered the place we are about to show you though, we really hit the Urbex Jackpot. This place is amazing, and has a remarkably colourful past as well.Related Pages

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
