General presentation
Villages et montagnes du Troodos
This monastery is discovered in the middle of the wooded reliefs of the interior of Cyprus. Also to be discovered: Omodos and Kakopetria.
To understand what Troodos villages and mountains are, you must look at Kykkos Monastery, Omodos and Kakopetria. These places give us a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.
