The Troodos mountains are the largest mountain range in Cyprus, covering a third of Cyprus' area in the centre of the island. The highest peak is Mount Olympus which is often covered in snow all year round.
The area has been known since antiquity for it copper mines, which explains the orange/brown colour in the Cyprus flag. In the Byzantine period it became a centre of Art, as churches and monasteries were built into the mountains.
The journey took us past some of the main water reservoirs/dams, and past a small waterfall where we were able to enjoy an ice-cream! We also stopped for coffee and I found a beautiful cemetery.
