Troodos

The imposing Troodos mountain range, located in the heart of Cyprus, is an amazing place with its highest peak, Mount Olympos, at 1951m above sea level.

Nestled in this cool green forest range are some of the most beautiful & tranquil Hill resorts of the Island, picturesque villages, wineries, charming Hotels, old Byzantine Monasteries & churches, 10 of which are listed UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The tranquil region is ideal for long walks among pine scented forests in the summer while it also offers the opportunity for skiing during some of the winter months.
