What you can expect
Begin your tour with a scenic drive through the countryside, where the landscape changes every few kilometers. Pass by green fields and fruit plantations, then see bizarre hills and landscapes that seem almost alien in appearance. These striking formations are the result of former copper mining activity and make the journey itself an essential part of this sightseeing tour.
On the return route, stop at a former mining site. Here, red and rust-colored lakes have formed in abandoned excavation areas, providing excellent photo opportunities and a fascinating insight into how nature gradually reclaims industrial landscapes.
Next, visit the Cyprus Planetarium in Episkopio. Inside the modern dome, experience visually impressive presentations that explore the universe, planets, and the history of space exploration in an immersive environment. Enjoy interactive exhibitions, virtual reality applications, and 360-degree space journeys. These elements are designed to be engaging and accessible for all ages, ensuring that this part of the tour remains entertaining for both adults and younger visitors.
Close to the planetarium, continue with a visit to the Russian Orthodox Church of the Apostle Andrew and All Saints. Its onion-shaped domes and distinctive architectural style immediately stand out and differ greatly from traditional Cypriot churches. Inside, richly decorated interiors and detailed iconography create a strong visual impression and add cultural depth to the tour.
Directly next to the Russian Orthodox church, visit an Armenian Orthodox church built entirely from wood. Its materials and construction make it unique on the island. The warm atmosphere and simple design highlight the cultural diversity of Cyprus and form a quiet contrast to the more monumental buildings nearby.
Another stop on the tour is the St Nicholas Church. From the outside, its size and elegant proportions are impressive. When open, the interior reveals refined decorations and a calm, peaceful atmosphere. This visit completes the cultural part of the tour before the return journey.
