Troodos Mountains - Cyprus
Troodos is the largest mountain range in Cyprus, located in roughly the center of the island. Troodos' highest peak is Mount Olympus at 1,952 meters, which hosts four ski slopes. The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus. There are many famous mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and picturesque mountains are villages clinging to terraced hill slopes. 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 great centre of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline.
Troodos (Cyprus) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about Troodos in Cyprus.
Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean that, due to its proximity to the Holy Land, was one of the first countries in which Christianity was introduced. With their well-preserved churches, the Troodos Mountains are located in the heart of the country. This remote and inaccessible area was soon a refuge for persecuted Christians and a safe place for threatened treasures such as revered religious icons. In Pedoulas, a small village in the Marathasa region, is the Archangel Michael Church that dates back to the fifteenth century. From the outside it looks like a barn but inside are a number of colourful Byzantine wall paintings including Saint Georg Diasoritis on his white horse with flowing cape, decorated shield and spear. Troodos is a low-lying mountain range with many hills and forests and within its centre is the largest and wealthiest monastery on the island, Kykkos, which is located some distance from the nearest village and is situated at an altitude of one thousand one hundred and forty metres above sea level on the mountain of the same name. The entire monastery complex looks like a fortress but beyond its somewhat severe exterior are two inner courtyards with colonnades on each level. Its wealth and fame stems from an icon of Mother Mary that is stored within the monastery’s church. The large village of PalaichorI contains the Metamorfosis Tou Sotirou Church which is situated amid a vineyard and towers over the village, with stunning views. Byzantine art, archaeological monuments and World Heritage churches, all of this is to be found in Troodos, a concentration of priceless treasures of world culture contained within a relatively small area that is probably unique in the world. In Troodos, a tumultuous past and a glorious history accompanied the guardians of both faith and tradition in their quest for peace.

Troodos Mountains, Cyprus 2017 ????????
Troodos Mountains are located in the center of the island of Cyprus. The highest peak is snow-covered Mount Olympus (also spelled Mount Olympos) at 1,952 meters above sea level. There are various Byzantine churches and monasteries in the region, including the most well-known Kykkos Monastery. Troodos Mountains are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and definitely worth visiting.
In this fourth part of my Cyprus Road Trip VLOG series, join me as I discover Mount Olympus, the High Cross and the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross above Pedoulas village, Kykkos Monastery and the beautiful Cedar Valley. The drive through Cedar Valley was one of the most breathtaking road trips I have ever done and the video footage doesn't do this epic part of the island any justice.
Follow me on my one-week road trip across the island of CYPRUS in February 2017 - visiting Larnaca, Cape Greko, Ayia Napa, Nissi Beach, Nicosia (Lefkosia/Lefkoşa), Troodos Mountains, Paphos, Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock), Kourion, Limassol and Governor's Beach.

Troodos Mountains in Cyprus | Mount Olympus | Snow in January 2020
January 2020 - this is a trip to the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus - in search of snow - Mount Olympus at 1.950m
Olympus, or Chionistra, (Greek: Όλυμπος or Greek: Χιονίστρα) at 1,952 metres (6,404 ft), is the highest point in Cyprus. It is located in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus. Mount Olympus peak and the Troodos Square fall under the territory of Platres in Limassol District. A British long range radar currently operates at Mount Olympus' peak.
Storyline: “Oh yes! In Cyprus you can enjoy the sun during Summer but also go skying in the mountains during Winter or just have a nice walk in this magical wintery landscape! For this occasion we brought the action camera and the mobile phone to show you what it’s like to travel up there and see the environment “
* Roads were very clean, last km’s were getting icy though, we installed snow chains. You can see this back in a few fragments in this film. Sorry but safety first!
* Lesson: do not use snow chains if you want smooth video footage. But you might be taking a lot of risk. 4WD is not always sufficient.
* Lesson: do use snow chains - especially the final km’s up the hill - if you want to prevent your car from sliding backwards to the cars behind you or mess something up in front of you.

Best of CYPRUS | Nicosia | Ayia Napa | Larnaca | Troodos Mountains
Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean and the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean, located south of Turkey.
The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the entire island, including its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, with the exception of the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, which remain under British control. However, the Republic of Cyprus is de facto partitioned into two main parts: the area under the effective control of the Republic, located in the south and west, and comprising about 59% of the island's area; and the north, administered by the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, covering about 36% of the island's area. Another nearly 4% of the island's area is covered by the UN buffer zone. The international community considers the northern part of the island as territory of the Republic of Cyprus occupied by Turkish forces. The occupation is viewed as illegal under international law, amounting to illegal occupation of EU territory since Cyprus became a member of the European Union.

Troodos Mountains & Nicosia
Join us for one of our most popular trips and discover traditional Cyprus, the unspoiled beauty of Troodos Mountains and Nicosia town – the last divided city in the world!
First, we drive to Nicosia, the capital of the island, where free time will be given to stroll around the Walled Old Town Center, relax with a coffee or walk up to the barrier (also known as the “Green Line”) that divides Nicosia into two since the Turkish invasion, in 1974.
As we drive towards Troodos Mountains, we stop at Kakopetria, a well-preserved village with traditional picturesque houses. In Kakopetria you will get the chance to walk around the quaint little village known for its running waters and mini waterfall and mingle with the friendly locals. We continue towards the peak of Troodos Mountains, where the forest stretches as far as the eye can see. We stop at Troodos Square, the highest point of Troodos Mountains, where free time will be given for lunch (optional extra).Situated right in the heart of the island, this location offers some of the most breathtaking views in Cyprus.
Following lunch,you will experience one of the highlights of this excursion, the beautiful traditional village of Omodos. The village is built around the Holy Cross monastery, one of the oldest and most sacred monasteries in the island. Omodos is a famous wine producing village with lots ofsmall shops where you can taste and buy some of the best local Cypriot handmade products and wine.
