The Island of Cyprus
T
he Republic of Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean, situated at the crossroads of the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. It is an EU country member with a long history and rich culture. Since antiquity, the island’s strategic geographic position has played an important part in its turbulent history. Inhabited since prehistoric times, it has been conquered and dominated by many different cultures and civilisations. Phoenicians, Assyrians, Persians, Egyptians, Romans, Franks, Venetians, Ottomans, and British, have all left behind visible traces of their passage. Christ’s apostles once walked on this island. The Mycenaean Greeks introduced their civilisation 3,500 years ago and permanently installed the island’s Hellenic roots. In antiquity, rich copper deposits put Cyprus on the world map. It is widely acclaimed that cuprum, the Latin word for copper is derived from the word Cyprus. The island is an open air museum where one can visit prehistoric settlements, classical Greek temples, Roman theatres and villas, early Christian basilicas, Byzantine era churches and monasteries, crusader castles, Gothic cathedrals, Venetian fortifications, Moslem mosques and British colonial style buildings.

Cyprus enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate, with long hot summers and mild sunny winters with little rainfall. The Troodos range occupies most of the southwestern part of the island. The coastal areas of Lemesos (Limassol), Pafos, Polis, Larnaka, Agia Napa and Paralimni have been developed into popular tourist holiday resorts. Lefkosia (Nicosia), the capital, is located inland. In the villages scattered in the hinterland one may still witness traditional ways of life, customs and traditions. “Philoxenia”, the Greek word for friendliness toward strangers, characterizes the people of the region. Their authenticity, warmth and genuine curiosity create a welcoming feeling. Communication is facilitated by the fact that throughout the island the English language is widely spoken.

Welcome to Troodos!

Troodos Area Map
elcome to Troodos! The imposing Troodos massif rises to 1,952m above sea level, stretching across most of the southwestern part of Cyprus. Nestled within this region are some of the island’s most picturesque and tranquil local communities. Charming villages, many with cobbled streets and preserved traditional architecture built on terraced slopes, amid vineyards, almond trees, apple orchards and cherry blossoms!
Troodos is renowned since antiquity for its dense forests and rich mines. It provided timber and copper for the construction of ancient ships and weapons that fought the battles and naval engagements of the classical era. In Byzantine times it became a centre for religious art, as monks and ordinary folk built and decorated superb churches and monasteries, away from the regularly raided and pirate savaged coastal lowlands. Nature has been particularly generous to Troodos. Its lower slopes alternate between terraced vineyards and the Phoenician juniper maquis, found in abundance near the coast, sprinkled in places with pink rock rose and wild lavender. Bright green pine trees and majestic cedars dominate in the higher elevations. It is an area of extreme natural beauty throughout the year. Whether escaping the summer heat, walking or cycling along scenic routes in spring or autumn or sipping a hot beverage after a demanding skiing descent in winter, Troodos is the place for all seasons. Troodos provides a wide range of hotels, and agrotourism establishments for accommodation and hosting of small scale seminars or conferences. Small groups have the option to stay in traditional houses and network in a rural environment with an authentic ambience. There is a choice of nearly 2,000 available beds, in different types of licensed establishments, from basic village accommodation to 4*star hotels. The region offers an abundance of things to do and see. It is an area of fresh air, winding nature trails and scenic panoramas. Walking or cycling through forests on mountain trails, attending village festivals, experiencing the local traditional gastronomy, or discovering the cultural treasure of the UNESCO World Heritage churches are among the main pursuits. Birdwatchers, botanists, geologists, ramblers, bikers, photographers and nature lovers seeking a relaxing break away from the cosmopolitan coastal resorts will be delighted.

Troodos: The Regions
T
he best way to explore Troodos is by car or through an organised coach excursion. The area is divided into five regions, grouped around Olympus, the island’s highest mountain:
Lemesos (Limassol) mountain resorts, around the central higher elevations of the range Pitsilia (North and South), to the east Solea valley, to the north Marathasa valley, to the west Krassochoria (wine villages) and Koumandaria to the south. Troodos was the winner of the European Destinations of Excellence (EDEN) award for Best Emerging Rural Tourism Destination in 2007, following a national competition launched by the Cyprus Tourism Organisation. The region was represented by the Troodos Tourism Board. The EDEN Project is a European Commission Tourism Unit initiative. The Eden award gave the opportunity to the Troodos area to be promoted among the other European awarded destinations and in all EU countries. The Troodos Regional Tourism Board capitulated on the opportunity to form strong networking channels, to share knowledge and experiences, and for benchmarking.

“You cannot sleep in Platres for the nightingales”. Shy nightingale, hidden among whispering leaves, you bring the echoing coolness of the forest to the sundered souls and bodies of those who know there can be no return. Blind voice, fumbling in the dark of memory for footsteps, gestures, what I dare not call kisses, and the slave-woman’s sullen anger. “You cannot sleep in Platres for the nightingales”. George Seferis, Greek Nobel laureate Helen, Log Book III (1955), translated from Greek by John Stathatos (2005)

Krassochoria and Koumandaria
K
Alfonso Lorenzetto
‘Krassochoria’ (wine villages) and ’Koumandaria’ regions are located on the southern slopes of the Troodos range, to the north of Lemesos (Limassol). The regions are well known for their local wine production and traditional forms of viticulture which are still kept alive. Visitors are welcome in the small wineries that operate in some villages. In the regions, Wine of Controlled Denomination of Origin (WCNO) is made, including ‘Koumandaria’, a sweet wine originally produced by the Grande Commanderie of the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem during the 14th century. The appropriately named ‘vin de Commanderie’ ‘Koumandaria wine’ is believed to be one of the oldest named wines in the world, having been referred to by its name for eight centuries.

Explore the Nature
T
The Troodos National Forest Park covers an area of 9,147 hectares around Mount Olympus. The highest point is Chionistra (1,952 m) and the lowest is Moni forest (700m). It is an area of great natural beauty, suitable for activities such as hiking, winter skiing, biking, nature study, camping and picnics.
The area is renowned for its rich flora and fauna. It is home to 750 species of plants, 12 of which are endemic within the park. Park animal life is protected. Of particular interest are the Griffon Vulture, the Raven, the Bonelli΄s Eagle, the Cyprus Warbler, the Scops Owl, the Short - Toed Treecreeper, and the Cyprus Pied Wheatear. The moufflon (Ovis gmelini ophion ), is a species of wild mountain sheep with thick sinuous horns, that lives in the wider area. The region’s rare geology includes a well-preserved ophiolite complex, created from oceanic crust about 90 million years ago. Elements of this complex can be viewed walking along one of the many Park nature trails.
Nature Reserves – Protected Flora and Fauna areas In Troodos, five Nature Protection Areas have been declared. Nature Reserves totalling an area of 1,408 hectares. All have been included in the European network of protected areas “NATURA 2000”:
Chionistra, Cyprus’ highest peak, includes black pine forests, foetid juniper and Serpentinophilous grasslands. It also accommodates large numbers of the Cyprus crocuses included in the EU Habitat Directive. The Presidential Summer House, off the Troodos – Platres main road, is covered with stands of black pine, golden oak and riparian oriental plane trees. Two other types of flora are also found in the area, the Butterwort and Kennedy’s rock-cress (Arabis kennedyae), which have been included in the EU Habitat Directive. Livadi tou Pashia, off the Troodos – Karvounas main road contains turfs, wetlands developed in cavities flooded during winter which remain muddy and wet throughout the summer season. Pikromiloudi, off the Troodos – Karvounas main road, extending towards
Solea Valley. It includes black pine forests and stands of golden oak. A rare plant found in the area the Butterwort (Pinguicula crystallina), is included in the EU Habitat Directive.
Madari, in the Adelfi Forest (Pitsilia Region), contains important and unique
forest ecosystems, such as the black pine forest, and stands of pure golden oak and juniper (Juniperus excelsa). Some 40 endemic species of flora and a large number of rare birds are found in the area, among them three endemic species.
Picnic sites Troodos has many picnic sites, all managed by the Cyprus Forestry Department. They are located in areas that provide easy access, shade, water, suitable topography and attractive landscapes. Offered facilities include benches and tables, barbecue sites, potable water, sanitary facilities, children playgrounds and car parking. All facilities are provided free of charge.
Machairas Forest
Machairas Forest in the Pitsilia Region is part of the Troodos National Forest Park and contains over 600 plant species, including 27 endemic to Cyprus. The dominant forest trees are the Calabrian pine (Pinus brutia), the native Golden oak (Quercus alnifolia) and other shrubs. The fauna includes foxes, hares and hedgehogs, snakes, lizards and rare endemic species of butterflies. Birdlife in the Park includes the Bonelli’s Eagle, the Cyprus Warbler, the Cyprus Wheatear, the Coal Tit, the Scops Owl, the Jay and the common Chukar and Wood Pigeon.

The Troodos National Forest Park covers an area of 9,147 hectares around Mount Olympus. The highest point is Chionistra (1,952 m) and the lowest is Moni forest (700m). It is an area of great natural beauty, suitable for activities such as hiking, winter skiing, biking, nature study, camping and picnics.
The area is renowned for its rich flora and fauna. It is home to 750 species of plants, 12 of which are endemic within the park. Park animal life is protected. Of particular interest are the Griffon Vulture, the Raven, the Bonelli΄s Eagle, the Cyprus Warbler, the Scops Owl, the Short - Toed Treecreeper, and the Cyprus Pied Wheatear. The moufflon (Ovis gmelini ophion ), is a species of wild mountain sheep with thick sinuous horns, that lives in the wider area. The region’s rare geology includes a well-preserved ophiolite complex, created from oceanic crust about 90 million years ago. Elements of this complex can be viewed walking along one of the many Park nature trails.
Nature Reserves – Protected Flora and Fauna areas In Troodos, five Nature Protection Areas have been declared. Nature Reserves totalling an area of 1,408 hectares. All have been included in the European network of protected areas “NATURA 2000”:
