The nature, the rock formations, the views.

Ski in the winter, trekking all year round.

• If you want to explore the Troodos Mountains then this is one of the best places to base yourself. The town is small, but has a number of good restaurants and hotels. There are several good walking trails in the area and Troodos itself is only a 10 minute drive away. • Russell S.
