Troodos is the greatest mountain range on the island of Cyprus, situated about in the middle of the island. Mount Olympus, is the tallest summit in Troodos at a height of 1,952 meters and has four ski slopes where people come during winter to practice their ski skills and have fun. The majority of Cyprus' western side is covered by the Troodos Mountain.
There are numerous well-known mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain summits, and communities clinging to terraced hill slopes nestled in its valleys and magnificent mountains. Something fascinating is that since ancient times, the region has been recognized for its copper mines, which for many years provided copper to the entire Mediterranean. As churches and monasteries were constructed in the Troodos mountains, far from the imperiled sea coast, it developed into a significant center of Byzantine art during this time.
