About Troodos Mountains
The Troodos Mountains are the green heart of Cyprus — a surprising contrast to the beaches of the coast. With Olympos as the highest peak (1,952m), the region features dense pine forests, medieval mountain villages, and even skiing in winter. Ten Byzantine church barns with unique frescoes are UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Troodos Mountains are the most popular hiking and excursion area for the Cypriots themselves.
