1. Explore Cyprus Explore Cyprus – – The Hidden Spots The Hidden Spots The island of Cyprus is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Russians and not only. Beautiful beaches and attractions in abundance draw in millions of tourists. The small territory of Cyprus seems to have been explored by them up and down. But it is not really so. On the resort island, there are attractions that are not too famous, but this has not made them less interesting. For those who are already tired of lying on the beach, and are eager to learn and see something new, here come a few tips on some amazing and wonderful locations. By the way, these sights are off the beaten path and perfect for those who are tired of noisy, crowded places. Blood Lake Mitsero

2. Not far from Nicosia – the capital of Cyprus – there is a village called Mitsero. In its vicinity, there is a lake with the same name. A small reservoir with a length of 700 meters has an unusual colour of the water – red. It has become red due to the high content of iron ore in the soil. Actually, Mitsero is a man-made lake: once there was a mine here. When the mineral reserves got depleted, the field was abandoned. Gradually the quarry was filled with water, with minerals dissolved in it. The combination of iron ore and copper dust gave the water such an unusual colour, which varies depending on the light. It is noteworthy that there is no vegetation along the banks of Mitsero, and no living creatures are found in its waters. It is strictly forbidden to swim in the lake. There are few tourists, but photographers have long favoured Mitsero to take great and unusual shots here. Those who want to see the lake with the of should go along the Nicosia-Palechori road (Nicosia — Palechori), and turn onto the Mitsero sign. Gravity Hill The gravity hill is located on the road between the cities of Paphos and Polis, near the village of Drussi. Here, people feel that they find themselves in a completely unusual place. In the anomalous zone, you can see how balls roll up the hill, and spilled water rises up. Of course, there is a scientific explanation for everything, but it is always interesting to see the so-called gravitational road itself and marvel at the wonders of nature.

3. There are similar places, for example, in Brazil, Australia, South Korea, and the USA. But Cyprus is, perhaps, the only country where beach holidays can be combined with such entertainment. Othello’s Castle In Northern Cyprus, in the historical part of the city of Famagusta, a medieval fortress has been preserved, called Othello’s Castle. Legend has it that the towers were erected by the Lusignans to protect the harbor and the city. It was in this very place that the tragedy written by Shakespeare broke out, with the main character being jealous Moor Othello, who strangled his wife Desdemona. They say his prototype is Venetian Doge Cristoforo Moreau. He was the Governor of Cyprus from 1505 till 1508. The first tower of the castle was built in 1218-1253. Venetians rebuilt the castle in the 15th century. Today Othello’s Castle hosts a historical museum. Incorli Cave Incirli Cave (Incirli magara), or Fig tree cave, is considered to be the largest underground kingdom on the island. Perhaps, there are bigger ones in Cyprus, as the islanders’ joke, but they have not yet been discovered. It is located in the Turkish part of the island, two

4. kilometres from the village of Cinarli. The nearest town is Famagusta. To name the cave was easy. Not far from the entrance there is a fig tree growing, and the cave was named after it. Local guides claim that its length is 311 meters. So far, only a small part of the underground kingdom is available – 70 meters. On the prepared route, the walls are strengthened, lighting is provided, and amateur speleologists are safe. The tourists are not allowed into the side branches so they do not get lost. The underground corridors are quite ample in width. The distance from the wall to wall in some places reaches seven meters, the height of the underground halls ranges from six to half a meter. So, sometimes you have to crawl through squatting mazes, but it’s better to avoid such narrow places.
