Limni Adventures
This Way
To get to the mine, we need to head towards Polis and take this left turn, almost immediately.
This Way
Please note, if you choose to follow in our footsteps, that the road goes past people's property. If you are here with a dog, keep it on a lead. I mention this because after we posted a previous article on the area somebody mentioned that they went there with their dog and it went into one of the buildings. From what I remember, an owner appeared, and was not too happy. So, dogs on lead.
I should stress though, that a couple of years ago this area looked a lot more dilapidated.
View From The Skies
I had my drone with me, and we took some nice film. I really should get round to publishing it. Anyway, the mine is to the left of this shot, and Pelathousa is on the right. Indeed, we did this trip a couple of days before their fateful fire.
The Road To Limni Pier
This is the view in the other direction.
Turn Right
As we have already said, Limni Mine has been closed for some time. They have filled in a lot of the old quarry face, but if you want to visit it, you would have to walk up the left turning here. It isn't a nice walk in the middle of summer though, so we stuck to the right.

Limni Crystal Hunting
We've long been fans of hunting for exotic crystals in the countryside of Cyprus. Half the fun of it is finding an interesting geological location. But it can also be a lot of hard work. So we thought we would show you it is possible to find some nice crystals with nothing more than a little hammer. They won't win any awards, but they are easy to find, and make a change from looking for shells on the beach...
Limni Mine
Limni Mine is an abandoned Copper and Sulphur Mine, which at some point in the future may become a golf course. With that in mind we thought we better take a look around before the golf balls start flying...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.
