Limni Mine
Published 5th of August, 2018
End of the Line
And that was that, the buildings came to an end. The path continued around the summit of the mine, and headed into the heart of the mine itself. So let's walk on down...
To The Centre
As I said previously, I wouldn't walk straight across there. But I did walk a little way down. You can see my film of that on the youtube clip. There are also a few static 360 shots in a virtual tour.
More Colours
Couldn't leave the mine without another shot of some of the more colourful rocks you find here. There is a huge variety, and some of it is more photogenic than others.
To The Pier
To get the copper and sulphur from the mine to the outside world, they built a pier and assorted processing plants between the mine and the sea. This is one of the most prominent buildings that remain today.
Other Side
Naturally I was nozy, so had a wonder around the building to see if there was any way in. However, the doors are all locked and chicken wire blocks all the windows.

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.

They won't win any awards, but they are easy to find, and make a change from looking for shells on the beach...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.
