Petra Tou Limnidi

When viewed from Vuni Palace, one of the most beautiful spots is undoubtedly Petra Tou Limnidi Island with its unique beauty. (Yeşilırmak Rock) The first human trace was found in 5000 BC on the island of Petra Tou Limnidi, which was excavated by the Swedish Excavation Committee in 1929. In other words, the fire of civilization, which means the beginning of life, was lit 7000 years ago in Petra Tou Limnidi. While the Swedish Excavation team continues their work in Vouni, they wonder what this beautiful island is like. They contact the villagers to reach this mysterious island. Eventually, they reach rock island by hiring a boat from the nearest village, although they experience some setbacks at first.

As a result of their examination there, they came across archaeological finds. As a result of two weeks of work, the team uncovers the fact that Petra to Limnidi island is one of the oldest settlements in Cyprus. As a result of the archaeological studies, regular and irregular planned settlements and planned houses are determined. It is understood from the finds such as obsidian stone and stone ax that belong to the life of the primitive people of that period that the people living here had close relations with Anatolia. Fishing, farming, agriculture, and agriculture were the sources of livelihood at that time. The Limnidi reef is about 100 meters from the seashore, 50 meters high, and 30 meters wide. Petra Tou Limnidi, located in the village of Yeşilırmak at the westernmost tip of the TRNC, is the oldest known settlement in the Güzelyurt and Lefke regions. Einer Gjerstad, the head of the Swedish excavation team, used the term "Awakening of the Island" while refining this impressive work after the Vouni and Petra Tou Limnidi excavations. No more words are needed. Vuni Palace is equal to history, nature, and peace.
