Troodos offers picture perfect forest mountain scenery that is located at the western side of Cyprus. Mount Olympus being the highest point at some 1952 meters. The entire Troodos massif takes up approximately one half of the island’s area. Troodos is well known for its natural beauty, covered with wild flowers and orchards set in the terraced hillsides.

This is the place to escape to from the heat of the summer, a place of extreme natural beauty with abundant nature trails such as the Persephone and Atalanta Trail, and villages of red-tiled roofs where the pace is quaintly relaxed. The best way to explore the Troodos area is by renting a car. Roads are very good, signs are in English as well as Greek (as everywhere else). A good starting point is the Pitsylia area with numerous villages where you can sample local wines, honey and cheeses.

There are many famous mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys, picturesque mountain villages clinging to terraced hill slopes. There are 10 churches in Troodos that are counted among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites and several monasteries, of which the Kykkos monastery is the most famous and rich.

Did you know that the Troodos Mountain range is unique, as it was formed in a different geographical way?

Here you are passing through parts of the earth’s mantle. This is sandwiched between the hard but thin crust and liquid core. Solidified magma from the bottom of the ocean that was at one stage some 8000 meters deep makes up most of Troodos today. You can find pillow-lavas at the base of the mountains. This was once red-hot molten rock, which was then frozen and preserved in ice-cold waters from the sea floor. This took place some 90 million years ago. Between two plates that drifted apart Troodos was born. Therefore, Cyprus was an island of active volcanoes.
