The quarry of Limassol is found in an area north of the village of Parekklisia, west of the Grigoris Afxentiou Avenue, that connects the mountain and semi mountain areas of Limassol with the town itself.

The river Dogaki tou Pyrgou begins from the point where the excavations take place.

One could say that a quarry may only give money and destroy the environment, not only in the area where the excavation is done, but also in a larger area.

Contrarily, the quarry of Limassol, with the attentive excavations it makes, created a magnificent landscape, like those we see in our mountain villages, with terraces, with the difference that it is greater in range and size.

The people that manage it, take care of the landscape and transform it appropriately so as to “match” with the rest of the place. They plant trees from the point where the mountain stops being “dug” and on.

Upon descending from the mountain area of Limassol, stop by to observe the image the quarry gives you and you will be surprised by the view you will have.
