The Island of Cyprus

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.

“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.

Krassochoria and Koumandaria ‘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.
