The Green Heart of Cyprus

There are places that invite you to experience them with all your senses. One of them is the Troodos mountains.

Unfolding across the western side of Cyprus, where the island takes on a different face, the Troodos Mountains rise to their peak at Mount Olympus (Chionistra) at 1,952 metres. As the island’s largest mountain range, it offers an experience that transcends the seasons – cool shade in the summer, snow and skiing in the winter.

The landscape feels like a living canvas. Pines and cedars tower over terraced vineyards, while blooming pink rock roses, junipers, and wild lavender complete the scene. Nestled among the forests, small villages seem untouched by time – with stone-built houses, narrow alleyways, and people who keep traditions alive.

Explore well-marked hiking trails and cycle through forest paths. Discover monasteries and Byzantine churches adorned with unique frescoes, and wander through the layers of history they hold. Savour the local cuisine through time-honoured dishes, pair them with wine made from native grapes, and discover the authentic flavours of the Cypriot land. Choose the accommodation that suits you best – whether it’s a traditional home full of character or a welcoming hotel nestled in nature.

Troodos is more than just a destination – it’s a journey to the roots of Cyprus. For more information visit: www.mytroodos.com
