Mikri Salamina Sculpture Park – Yiapanis Art Studio

cconstantinou — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:44:55 +0000

Set among the hills of a typical Cypriot village Fasoula, surrounded by almond and olive trees, this beautifully landscaped Park is a continuous creation of a passionate artist, Philippos Yiapanis. Here, the natural beauty blends with exceptional works of art, the ancient meets the modern, creating balance and harmony.

The Mikri Salamina is an open-air gallery of bronze and marble sculptures, reflecting the life journey of the artist. On the area of 5500 square meters, set on multiple levels, there are around 140 sculptures on permanent exhibition. You can discover them while wandering through stone-cobbled, curvy pathways, elevated terraces and quiet corners. Here, everything you will see is a result of the artist’s vision, hard work, and his attempt to leave something significant behind. In his art one can find curved shapes, erotic and fertility motives, silhouettes of birds, snails and fishes. Many sculptures present scenes and figures from Greek mythology.

The different sites in the Park were created steadily, over the years: starting with the showroom and workshop, moving to the Amphitheatre, the Gymnasium and now continuing with creating The Waves. First events in the Park were organized by Famagusta Municipality; then, charity events followed to gather money for people in need. The dream of the artist is to now build a big-scale museum, with more space to exhibit his work, host various events and guest exhibitions.

The Structures (Masks)

cconstantinou — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 08:08:39 +0000

The Structures is a series of concrete structures that were submerged at Dasoudi Marine Protected Area (MPA) in 2016 to further enrich the artificial reef created in 2014 with the sinking of the two wrecks Costandis and Lady Thetis.
The 11, large artificial structures provide marine life with a ‘playground’, and divers with an interesting experience that complements the two wrecks the structures sit directly between. Beginners can even use the structures to home their skills, including swimming through the large tube blocks.

Alongside the high boulders, tube blocks, trapezes and large clusters of amphorae that were originally submerged in 2016, two huge, white carnival masks were added in 2022.

The masks represent Lemesos’ historical carnival tradition and are made of C50 concrete; each weighing around 12 tonnes and measuring 3.20 x 2.50 metres.

It is no surprise that marine life readily favours the site, evidenced by the abundance of different species. Highlights include the ‘branches’ of squid eggs clinging to the ropes during squid breeding season, turtles, and the schools of bait fish followed in pursuit by schools of predator species. Other species that populate the site are bream, grouper, damselfish, lionfish, moray eels, parrotfish, tube worms and amberjacks that pass through seasonally.

Jubilee Shoals

cconstantinou — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 11:26:18 +0000

This majestic site is the largest natural reef on the island, stretching out for 2km along the Pissouri coastline of Lemesos. As such, two dives are advised to fully appreciate all this amazing reef has to offer.

As one of the most stunning dives of Cyprus, the experience is characterised by a mountain wall, immense rocks that resemble stalagmites, and multiple caves at various depths, including a large cave with three entrances that is encountered after a dramatic, plunging cliff face.
The site is also considered to be the top site for cave and wall diving; excellent for technical diving, and one that will challenge and delight the more experienced diver.

The flourishing and diverse marine life at the reef includes schools of amberjack, coloured wrasse, crayfish, damselfish, grouper, moray eels, lobsters, and more. Particularly impressive are the bright nudibranch, flamboyant flambelinas and turtles. The larger marine species are found at the feeding ground created by the upwelling along an immense rock wall known as Jubilee Arches.
