The Troodos Mountain range is in the centre of the island and in summer is a haven for those preferring cooler temperatures. In winter enough snow falls on Mount Olympus, the highest peak, to allow winter skiing. There are many picturesque villages and clear mountain streams in this area as well as many churches and monasteries, the most well known one being Kykko Monastery built in the 11th century.

Village Kakopetria

Sitting at the foot of the Troodos moutain range Kakopetria is a village frequented by holidaymakers the world over. The views, houses on the slopes and restaurants dotted along the main street are something to behold. Village ladies offering their locally made jams, pickles and other delicacies outside their old traditional houses, with balconies hanging over the narrow streets, makes this a photographer's or historian's paradise. The crisp atmosphere and mountain streams running through the village add to its natural beauty. The most visited spot is 'The Mill' which is an ancient mill that was built onto the rock escarpment with the perennial stream meandering over the rocks below towards its final destination. Just above that is the magnificent Mill Hotel that blends in with the environment. Famous for its delicious trout cooked to perfection, they serve lunch throughout the afternoon in their large restaurant or on the balcony both of which are on the top floor and offer spectacular views of the surrounding area. Bookings have to be made well in advance due to the high through fare.
