Troodos is the largest mountain range in Cyprus, located in roughly the center of the island. Troodos' highest peak is Mount Olympus at 1,952 meters, which hosts four ski slopes. The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus. There are many famous mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and picturesque mountains are villages clinging to terraced hill slopes. The area has been known since antiquity for its mines, which for centuries supplied copper to the entire Mediterranean. In the Byzantine period it became a great centre of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline.
After our visit to Lefkosia (or Nicosia), the divided capital of Cyprus, we took a detour to get back to our villa in Limassol, and decided to drive through the Troodos mountains instead of taking the motorways. 

Winding roads, postcard picture villages and viewpoints filled with honey bee hives made this drive the highlight of our trip!
