Troodos Mountains Holidays

The Troodos Mountains offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the picturesque villages and wild mountain landscapes of inland Cyprus while staying within easy reach of beach resorts on the Cyprus coast. This verdantly green mountain chain crosses the west of Cyprus, rising to 6000ft at legendary Mount Olympus. Getaways here allow a glimpse into the Cyprus that existed before the arrival of package holiday tourism. You will find delightfully sleepy villages, charming traditional cafes, old-fashioned shops and a wonderfully unhurried pace of life. This region is famous for its amazing mountain roads, beautiful villages, Byzantine churches and wonderfully atmospheric monasteries.
 

The Troodos Mountains offer a wonderful contrast to the intense heat and hectic nightlife of the busier Cyprus beach resorts in peak summer. Deliciously cool summer air is a delight in the hottest summer months. Troodos accommodation includes everything from luxury spa hotels and rural inns to cheap Cypriot apartments. You will find some of the cheapest accommodation in villages like Platres and Omodhos. You will also find cheap options in the resort of Kakopetria. Troodos favourites like Omodhos are just 20 minutes from Cyprus beaches. Winter visitors can combine ski action on Mount Olympus with early season beach relaxation on the very same day!

The Troodos Mountains are the number one destination for walking enthusiasts in Cyprus. The region boasts beautiful green valleys, ancient forests and a rich variety of wildlife. You will find plenty of medium-length trails ideal for 2 or 3 hour’s walking. Look out for amazingly cheap holidays in early spring, when the region is covered with wild flowers and fruit trees are in blossom.  Visitors could also take in the vineyards and fruit orchards of Pitsillia, the wine villages of Krassochoria, the wild forests of the Cedar Valley and the lovely Solea and Marathassa valleys. Popular excursions typically head for 11th century Kykko Monastery and gorgeous villages like Palaichori and Platanistassa. Family adventure includes paragliding, mountain biking and rock climbing. Our online search can find cheap deals, Cyprus all-inclusive bargains and the latest Troodos Mountains last-minute offers.
