In the 'fly to' section put in Lemythou Cyprus and just to the left of the arrow there is a photo of the mitsis school and north neighbourhood this is one of the views from my balcony (taken by my bro in law)
I'm going to play around with it on my son's computer when he's gone to bed.
Who knows ... we could end up being neighbours!
BTW ... are you near any quarries?
The nearest quarries are the now defunct Asbestos mines at Amiantos about 10k away
They are foresting that up, aren't they? Did it deter you from buying? Was it something you considered? Cyprus seems to have a lot of mines/quarries when you start to Google!
I don't mind too much, if it keeps people away ... but hubby is thinking long term (damn)
Yes its part of the reaforrestion scheme it still looks a lot like a lunar landscape even now and I would imagine take decades to completely cover this man made monstrosity.
Dont let it put you off purchasing and moving into the area though its far more visible from the air (as on google earth) than it is from 'ground level'
When we lived in Lemythou in the late 70s the mine was still in pretty much operation , The old village bus used to stop there on the way to Limassol but its been closed for around 20 years now.
As far as i'm aware there are no other quarries of any major significance in the area
