Troodos Mountains, Mountain range in southern Cyprus
The Troodos Mountains extend across western Cyprus, reaching 1,952 meters at Mount Olympus peak with pine forests and deep valleys.
The mountain range supplied copper to Mediterranean civilizations for centuries, making Cyprus a significant metal trading center in ancient times.
Multiple Byzantine churches and monasteries dot the mountainsides, with nine religious structures recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1985.
The mountains feature four ski slopes during winter months, while summer visitors can explore numerous hiking trails through forest paths.
The Troodos Ophiolite formation contains preserved ancient seafloor rocks that provide scientists with knowledge about oceanic plate movements.
