The impressive mountain range of Troodos provides a dramatic contrast to the Mediterranean beach life of Cyprus. Stretching across the centre of Cyprus stands Mount Olympus reaching 1,952 metres at its highest point. Commanding spectacular panoramic views of the majestic mountains and rustic villages, this walker's paradise has inspired poets and artists alike for many generations.

Platres is one of the most popular mountain resorts and provides a cool retreat from the busier coastal resorts. With a number of tavernas, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, two banks and a disco, Platres provides plenty of facilities.

The mountain villages are charming with the people both friendly and hospitable giving you a chance to experience the unhurried pace of village life. Each village has a special craft, crop or product for which it is known.

A number of interesting monasteries are scattered in the Troodos range, the largest and most famous is Kykko Monastery, with its golden icon of the Virgin Mary allegedly painted by St Luke. A stay in the mountains will give every visitor memories to take back and cherish.
