View of abandoned asbestos quarry

4.5(16 reviews)

About

View of abandoned asbestos quarry, on Cyprus, sits at Amiantos, Limassol 4810, Cyprus, in the Troodos foothills. First-time visitors should expect a stark, industrial landscape rather than a manicured site, with the quarry's remains set against the surrounding mountain terrain. A 4.5 out of 5 average across 16 reviews reflects a strong response from those who have made the trip.

Reaching it is manageable from Ayia Napa, Protaras, Paralimni, Larnaca, Limassol, Paphos, Polis and Coral Bay, all within Cyprus's wider road network. Limassol district's position makes the site accessible from the island's southern coast. Its location in Amiantos places it in the interior highlands, away from the coastal resorts.

Spring brings wild flowers and almond blossom, and autumn stays warm enough for swimming into November. Wine villages in the Troodos foothills hold an annual vintage festival, and lace-making continues in Lefkara.

The island has been divided since 1974, with a UN buffer zone running through Nicosia, the last divided capital in Europe. Summers are hot inland, while the coasts catch sea breezes and humidity rises in July and August. The 4.5 out of 5 average across 16 reviews gives the site a strong standing among Cyprus's more unusual stops.
