You can visit Troodos during your holiday in Cyprus. This is the largest mountain\u00a0 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. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;6132&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus. There are many mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries, and churches\u00a0 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. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Nowadays\u00a0Troodos Mountains is covered in a blanket of shimmering snow.\u00a0While 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_headings style=&#8221;theme2&#8243; borderclr=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title=&#8221;Where to Go &amp; What to do on the Snowy Peaks!&#8221; titleclr=&#8221;#000000&#8243;][\/vc_headings][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Ski, more ski, and a bit of snowboarding!&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>From skiing to snowboarding, adrenaline junkies will be in for a treat.
