Troodos Mountains

Cyprus' green heart — pine forests, painted churches, and mountain villages

The Troodos mountain range is the cool, green counterpoint to Cyprus' sun-baked coast. Rising to 1,952m at Mount Olympus, these mountains are home to UNESCO-listed painted churches, traditional wine villages, and some of the island's best hiking trails.
