Double bridge at Trimiklini

Found at Trimiklini  village, it can be seen from above from the big red gas station, and can be reached through a dirtroad (good condition don;t worry) on your left just before the gas station.

The first bridge was built at 1901. With the arrival of cars and motor vehicles, the first bridge was considered inappropriate so the second one on top was built as well.

"The Municipal Museum of Folk Art, which opened on the 20th June 1985, includes one of the most important collections of Cypriot folk art and craft from the late 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century. The museum is housed in a listed building, donated by the Ioannis and Katerina Schiza family, located in the corner of Ayiou Andreou Street and Othonos and Amalias Street which used to be a municipal retirement home for seniors.

The renovation of the building and its transformation to the Municipal Museum of Folk Art took place between 1984 and 1985 and the official opening took place in June 1985. "

The sinking of Lady Thetis And Konstantis

from the website http://bluavventura.com/

the two ships "Lady Thetis an old cruiser ship and Konstantis a former fishing vessel that have been cleaned and prepared by Semesco for sinking in the Limassol area opposite the Thasoudi.

The sinking will take place on the  8th of February 2014 and participants must send their notification as soon as possible to Panicos Panayiotou or contact him on the number 99492308."

The sinking was done in order to create artificial reefs and attract fish for scuba diving. 

Lady Thetis:

Constantis:

Also, here's a video from my dive at the site. It's relatively empty when it comes to fish since it's a new wreck.
