Troodos Region

Troodos Region Guide

Troodos has five distinct regions, grouped around Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Cyprus (1,952 meters):

 

  • The Lemesos Mountain Resort region situated around the central higher elevations of the Troodos range, featuring pine covered village communities.
  • The Pitsilia region (North and South) to the east of Mount Olympus, home to picturesque valleys covered with vineyards, almond, hazelnut, walnut and other fruit trees. A good time to visit is in the spring, when the entire Valley is in full blossom.
  • The Solea Valley to the north, situated along the main Lefkosia-Troodos road, a charming area of tranquil villages set in beautiful natural surroundings.
  • The Marathasa Valley located on the northwestern slopes of the Troodos range. A fertile cherry producing area of small village communities and crystal water springs.
  • The Krassochoria and “Koumandaria” region, located on the southern slopes of the Troodos range. A region known for its wine production. In recent years a number of small enterprises specializing in the production of local wine have emerged, establishing wine varieties of international standard.

Troodos provides a wide range of hotels, traditional houses and agro tourism establishments for accommodation. There is a choice of nearly 2000 beds in various types of licensed establishments, from basic village accommodation to 4 star hotels.

The area offers an abundance of things to do and see: walking or cycling through forest nature trails, attending local village festivals, experiencing the local traditional cuisine and discovering the cultural treasures of UNESCO World Heritage sites are among the main pursuits. Birdwatchers, botanists, geologists, ramblers, bikers, photographers or nature lovers seeking a relaxing break away from the cosmopolitan coastal resorts will all be delighted!
