Best Cyprus Experience (Ciao Hitlist)

Troodos in Cyprus can mean any of three related but different places. Firstly it's a tiny village high in the mountains. Secondly, as one guide book tells me, it's the area within about 5km encircling that village. And thirdly, as it's most often understood, it's an entire range of mountains ... Read review

Tranquil Troodos

Advantages: Cooler than sea-level, peaceful, relaxing, unspoilt, lots of nature trails
Disadvantages: Not for those who want bright lights and loud music

Troodos in Cyprus can mean any of three related but different places. Firstly it's a tiny village high in the mountains. Secondly, as one guide book tells me, it's the area within about 5km encircling that village. And thirdly, as it's most often understood, it's an entire range of mountains reaching almost from Paphos in the West of the island to East of Limassol, which is about 50km away.

The village itself is easily dealt with. ...
...rather difficult to get through Troodos village: the one-way signs direct traffic through an extremely bumpy car park, and even in the height of summer there don't seem to be many visitors.

At the other extreme, the broadest sense of Troodos - the entire mountain range - is too big a topic for a single review. There are forests, rivers, and nature trails, mostly unspoilt. See http://www.cosmosnet.net/cyprus/trails/nt4.htm for some ... more

different from the beach life!

Advantages: different from the beach life, plenty to see, not too hot, u see a lot of green
Disadvantages: none !

Every summer I go to Troodos with my falimy and friends and we have the traditional souvla (if anyone doesn't know what souvla is, is the Cypriot barbeque). It's so lovely and every year I want to go. The only thing that I regret is, I am from Cyprus and I never had the chance to go to Troodos while it's snowing! I wish one day I could go during the winter. When I was younger every summer my parents used to send me camping in Troodos where I had ...
...On the way to reach troodos we pass a lots of small villages. People standing in the roads waiting for passengers to stop and buy their thing that they sell, fresh fruits, like cherries, apples or peaches and traditional sweet specialities like soujouko and palouze, and some cypriot wines. and the zivania! You can smell the fresh air and the trees, listen to the birds and relax. There are paths that take you for long nice walks. There is a variety ...

You must visit

Advantages: Tallest point in Cyprus, the journey is breath-taking
Disadvantages: Quite slow going - the roads aren't particularly good

...- you MUST visit the Troodos mountains. I stayed in Paphos but hired a car for 3 days. It really is a whole day trip (unless of course you stay there). It takes quite a while to negotiate the bendy and narrow roads. But the scenery is wonderful! You see a part of Cyprus you never knew existed especially if you take some of the minor roads where you go through some small quaint villages. There are many stop off cafes en route or you could try one ...
...much cooler as you reach Troodos (the journey there is extremely hot unless you have an air-con car/bus). Theres a few restaurants and bars in the village itself but the journey is the best bit! You can visit Kykkos monastry (but men, take long trousers, towels or shorts will not be allowed in!!). To really appreciate Troodos and the journey to it, you need to travel by car - then you can really explore. Definately worth a day out! ...

Kykkos Monastery and getting there!

Advantages: Very pretty and other places to see in area
Disadvantages: long way on windy hilly roads

...above sea level in the Troodos mountains and fairly remote. The building is modern for a monastery, the original was destroyed in a fire in the early 1800's. It has amazing mosaics on gold settings at the entrances and and wall paintings. It has the precious icon of the Virgin Mary, supposedly painted by St Luke whilst she was alive, on a piece of wood given to him by an Archangel and was donated to the monastery in 1080. Its said to work miracles. ...
...places to stop for refreshments on the way to your intended destination. Troodos and Platres are the main places where tourists stop en route and Troodos itself (only 3k from Mt Olympus) has cafes and a lovely park for children and is a great place to stretch your legs! ...

troodos mountains

Advantages: beutiful cool and fantastic views
Disadvantages: none

...that stood out was the troodos mountains. even in the heat of midday.it was a fantastic place to go. very tranquile quiet and cool. with all the trees around it kept preety cool up there. i allways remember the small wooden building up there. dont know what it was for but think it was for the locals to have a cuppa. and the views were worth the little bit of ruged ride up there. if i were to go back to cyprus then this is a deffinat place ...

Troodos Mountains, Cyprus

Advantages: Stunning scenery
Disadvantages: A 4x4 is needed for some roads

Troodos is the largest mountain range in Cyprus. It is located in the southern, Greek side of the island. The highest peak in the mountain range is Mount Olympus, at 1,952 meters. The area has many attractions, including quite a few monasteries, some of which allow visitors. The mountains are best explored in a 4x4, as although many of the roads are now tarmaced, there are still lots of little tracks that lead to some pleasant surprises. We have visited Cyprus many times, and are still discovering new parts of the mountains. Travelling some of these roads is not for the faint hearted though. There are some really steep drops. My mum got quite paranoid about the car falling off the road. This was not helped when we had to try to negotiate some small rock slides, pushing us closer to the edge. It is also not helpful that the tracks are ...

Review of Troodos Mountains, Troodos

Well worth a visit

Advantages: great beaches, nice scenery, very brit-friendly
Disadvantages: Troodos mountains - give them a miss

for nighlife. Don't get me wrong, Protaras itself has plenty of bars, a couple of discos and enough places to 'let you hair down' - but Ayia Napa is for the 'clubbers'. The place livens up, just when us oldies are thinking of 'calling it a night.The old town square is the starting point and steps lead you up to the Bars, clubs and Discos - all with their own PRs outside trying to tempt you in.The resort also has a great main beach and a variety of restaurants. We did go on a trip to the Troodos Mountains while we were on Cyprus. I must say this was disappointing. I think in winter, maybe, when they are snow capped they may be picturesque, but they did nothing for me - and that's coming from a professional photographer who is paid to see the 'pretty' in things. I'd love to go back again and explore the westerly side of the island, Paphos ...

Review of Ayia Napa (Cyprus)

An Island of all the charms

Advantages: sun, sand, sea, good variety of food, cheap, and did I say .. Sun?
Disadvantages: can be a bit too 'touristy' in places, for some people

looking for nightlife. Don't get me wrong, Protaras itself has plenty of bars, a couple of discos and enough places to "let you hair down" (if I had any!), but Ayia Napa is for the young clubbers. The place livens up, just when us oldies are thinking of calling it a night. The old town square is the starting point and steps lead you up to the Bars, clubs and Discos, all with their own PRs outside trying to tempt you in. The resort also has a great main beach and a variety of restaurants. We did go on a trip to the famous Troodos Mountains while we were on Cyprus. I must say that this was very disappointing. I think in winter, maybe, when they are snow capped they may be picturesque, but they did nothing for me and that's coming from a professional photographer who is paid to see the "pretty picture" in even mundane things. I'd love ...
