OVERVIEW

Troodos is a mountain region in central Cyprus, with pine forest, vineyards and villages spread across high valleys. Religious architecture, agriculture and summer retreat culture remain important. The relationship between forested peaks, painted churches and stone villages across a cool mountain region of trails and traditional rural life and mountain region gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Hiking, village food and scenic driving provide the main experiences, while winter snow occasionally changes access. The cooler climate contrasts sharply with the coast. Spending time with both forested peaks and painted churches and stone villages across a cool mountain region of trails and traditional rural life reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
