We are on the road in Cyprus by rental car. For our first tour we have chosen the Troodos mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Troodos mountain range is located in the west of the island and occupies about one third of the area of Cyprus. The Troodos massif is one of the most thoroughly explored mountain ranges in the world. It was created by the collision of the African and European continental plates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the uniqueness of the geology of the Troodos Mountains, the Geopark was certified with the UNESCO Global Geopark in 2015. Signs along the roads provide interested visitors with information about unique geological phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highest mountain in the range is Olympus at almost 2000 metres. But also the mountains Madari (1600 meters) and Papousta (1550 meters) are very impressive. Here you should be able to ski from January to March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
