Amiantos Asbestos Mine
former large asbestos mine in the Troodos mountains
Why go
This was the largest asbestos mine in Europe, and it worked from 1904 until 1988. Mining was done from the surface, so the shape of the land and its vegetation changed, and after closure the state took on the restoration of the area. The mine is seen today as a piece of mining history.
⚠️ Safety
View the mine from the outside only and do not enter closed or dangerous areas. The path to the Almyrolivados lake crosses rough ground with steep climbs, so wear sturdy shoes and carry water.
