Волшебный зимний отдых на Кипре

От в Наш блог с 0 Comments

 The winter magic of Cyprus  is hidden in Troodos mountain. You can visit Troodos during your holiday in Cyprus. This is the largest mountain  in Cyprus, located in roughly the center of the island. Its highest peak is Mount Olympus, also known as Chionistra, at 1,952 meters, which hosts four ski slopes.

The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus. There are many mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries, and churches  which you can visit during your holiday in Cyprus on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and mountains are villages clinging to terraced hills. The area has been known since antiquity for its mines, which for centuries supplied copper to the entire Mediterranean. In the Byzantine period it became a centre of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline.

Nowadays Troodos Mountains is covered in a blanket of shimmering snow. While looking out at brilliant greenery and dense pine trees is one thing, the magic of panoramic views tinged with brilliant white is enough to seriously take your breath away as the whole district takes on a rather otherworldly appeal.

Try the local delicious food in one of the local taverns!

When it’s cold outside and the snow begins to touch the ground, there is nothing better than stepping foot into a warm restaurant and tucking into a great meal. Many eateries in the winter incorporate soup on their menu, especially avgolemono – an egg/lemon soup with chicken and rice – and trahanas, a hearty mix made with cracked wheat and soured goat’s milk or moussaka.

When it comes to capturing the best of Cyprus on camera, nothing beats a picture of the snow capped mountains. The peaks of Mount Olympus with its snow covered pines makes for an obvious choice.
