Troodos is the largest mountain range in Cyprus, located in roughly the center of the island and it’s highest peak is Mount Olympus, at 1,952 meters.
Troodo’s mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus.
There are many mountain resorts, monasteries, and churches on the mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and mountains are villages clinging to terraced hills.
The area has been known since antiquity for its mines, which for centuries supplied copper to the entire Mediterranean.
In the Byzantine period it became a center of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline.
Whether you are looking to discover the hidden cultural jewels of Cyprus, have an exciting hiking activity, or simply relax in the green area of Cyprus, Troodos is waiting for you!
