Troodos Botanical Garden
botanical garden on the site of an old asbestos mine
Why go
The garden stands at 1400 m in Troodos National Forest Park, within the old Amiantos asbestos mine. About 150 plant species grow here, including endemics of Troodos, with ponds, a stream and a waterfall, an arboretum and a viewpoint with a telescope. The visitor center shows a 15-minute film on Troodos flora on request and photographs of the mine's history.
Good for: people interested in Troodos plants; school groups
⚠️ Safety
Keep off the planted areas so rare plants are not trampled. Do not step on wet rocks by the stream or go near the pond edges, and keep children under supervision. Lighting fires is prohibited in the park.
