Découvrir Troodos Mountains
The Troodos Mountains are another Cyprus. Here, the traditional ways of life still hold sway in the sleepy stone villages that dot the tree-clad valleys. What’s more, these highlands are the spiritual heart of the island. Monasteries such as those of Kykkos, Chrysoroyiatissa and St John Lampadistis attract both the faithful and the curious. And the region’s painted Byzantine churches are so rare and precious that they’re a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You can expect luxuriant landscapes and cooler climes, which offer a pleasing contrast to the coast. There are iconic landmarks such as the medieval Tzelefos Bridge, romantic vineyards such as those in the southern slopes and timeworn villages where they still make artisan products. The villages of the Troodos Mountains are the sort of places where you still find old men playing backgammon in coffee shops and old ladies knitting outside their doors.
There’s so much to see and discover, to sample and savour, that the best way to get a snapshot of this fascinating is a guided tour from one of the coastal areas. Most of these excursions visit the top attractions, such as the UNESCO-listed churches and the monasteries, along with wineries.

Avis Troodos Mountains
“Excursion très longue pour pas grand chose, un point de vue sur la mer de 10 minutes, la visite d'un site archéologique potable mais aucune explication en français (visite proposée et réservée en français sur le site TUI et après payement vous apprenez que c'est uniquement en Anglais) visite d'une tour de garde Anglaise que l'on fait passer pour un château. Un repas le midi ou le service est beaucoup trop rapide , la visite d'un PETIT village de "montagne" et d'un monastère, temps libre 20'.”
“Étant francophone pas d'hôtesse parlant français. Rien comme accueil à l'aéroport. Toutes les excursions en anglais ou néerlandais. Votre service est pratiquement nul sur place. Par contre l'hôtel est excellent, le personnel très sympathique ce qui rend nos vacances très agréables.”
“Would have liked lots more time at Kourion ruins, Kolossi Castle waste of time. Not interested in wine tasting, stayed in old monastery instead. Local meal brilliant, but a long drive to. Guide very knowledgeable and friendly.”
“Advertised as a waterfall experience. The start of the tour we went to some lemon farm? Not sure why, had some fruit and juice and off onto the rest of the trip. The actual waterfall experience ended up being a forced march through the woods, the guide shot off and at one point did not know that a lady had fallen. Saw little of the area we were speeding through was to busy looking at the floor to see were to put my feet. The meal was good for me but those with trout were far from happy.”
