Polemi Concentration Camp
memorial at a former British camp for EOKA fighters
Why go
The camp opened in August 1958 and ran for only 102 days, holding fighters from the campaign against British rule. Today the small compound has a watchtower, two old military vehicles and a tin barrack with an exhibition of prisoner photographs and a model of the camp. The tower can be climbed by an outside ladder.
⚠️ Safety
Watch out for rusting barbed wire. The ladder up the tower has nothing to hold except the rungs, so climb with care.
