Troodos
Mountain trails, painted churches & wine villages
The Troodos massif is Cyprus’ green, cool heart — pine-clad peaks, waterfalls and nature trails, dotted with tiny frescoed Byzantine churches (ten are UNESCO-listed) and stone wine villages. In winter you can even ski Mount Olympus; in summer it’s a fragrant escape from the coastal heat.
