On this unique tour we visit two abandoned copper mines; Mathiatis Copper Mine and Skouriotissa Copper Mine. Both these mines have a fascinating history and have left an indelible mark on the landscape around them.
Located in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains, mining activity does still go on in the area as the price of copper has risen and other minerals are also present in the rich Cypriot rock.
