Overview

The village of Katydata is about 56 km from Nicosia. Two rivers cross it, the Karkotis and Setrachos. The only active mine in Cyprus, which continues to produce copper cathodes, is located in Katydata. Skouriotissa’s deposits are connected, like all sulphur deposits of Cyprus, to the Troodos grip column. The deposit is at the top of the row, part of which is covered by ochre or umbra without the insertion of a handle mattress. Within walking distance of the mine there is also an interesting museum for the mine, which highlights the mining activity of the area
