Get away from the hustle and bustle of the beach resorts and visit the Troodos Mountains. The cooler mountains found at the centre of the island are dotted with tiny villages, forest paths, and ancient monasteries. The locals are very proud of their cultural heritage: some of the monasteries date back to the Byzantine period. People here are very hospitable and friendly. It is a beautiful region, with great hiking and walking opportunities. The main highlight is the Kykkos monastery, that dates back to the 11th century.
