JARDIN BOTANIQUE DU TROODOS

This 12-hectare garden (Βοτανικός Κήπος Τροόδους/Votanikos Kipos Troodos, Troodos Botanical Garden) was developed from 2010 on part of the large and fearsome Amiantos asbestos mine. Still under construction, it should eventually be home to 500 plant species typical of the island. Trees (Cyprus black pines, Cilician firs, Cyprus cedars, etc.), a herb garden, a frog pond and a picnic area are already on site.
