There’s just something about the colour of this water that my eyeballs adore.
This turquoise coloured Memi Mine Lake near Xyliatos village was created by a large crater that was left by a former copper and iron mine which began operating in 1954.
The water colour changes every season due to the copper alloy at the bottom of the lake which reacts with sunlight and oxygen. The spring, the water is this gorgeous turquoise colour.
Summer, dark blue.
Winter, dark green.
Autumn, light green.
Dying to get back every season to experience all the colours in their glory.
