Why Mount Olympus (Troodos) matters
The Troodos massif is a cool green area of pine forest, paths and nature trails, and the island's highest peak lies here. In winter there is snow and a small ski area. In summer, walkers escape the heat on shaded trails. It is a good contrast to the beach.
Talking points
- It is the island's highest mountain area.
- There is snow in winter.
- Trails are shaded and cool in summer.
