Byzantine churches and cool escape from Cyprus's heat
The Troodos Mountains offer relief from Cyprus's heat, a forested highland region at 1,951 meters elevation where Byzantine churches dot villages and the air cools noticeably. The region is accessible by car from either coast, making it a day-trip destination or overnight escape. Village homestays, traditional food, and absolute quiet create welcome contrast to beach resorts. Pine forests, hiking trails, and cherry blossoms (spring) create seasonal beauty.
