Car Hire in Troodos - Prime Car Hire
Troodos Mountain Area lies across the centre of Cyprus. Troodos worth considering as a holiday destination.
Troodos is only 45 min. from the clear Cyprus Sea and some wonderful beaches.
Away from the beach areas you will find charming traditional villages to explore many remain unspoiled by development or tourism. There are monasteries, beautiful churches and some breathtaking scenery to enjoy. You can pack a picnic and take off on one of the nature trails; the Tourist Office can supply you with information and leaflets on recommended walks/trails in the area. One well-known trail in this region is the Caledonia Falls; it follows a stream to an impressive waterfall.
One village you should visit is Kakopetria, a beautiful village whose old quarter is a protected area. You can see local Cyprus chairs been made from wood and straw, wander around the old part of the village which has preserved much of its traditional architectural character. In the middle of the village is a large square where you can spend some time relaxing at one of the tavernas or restaurants. There are several churches around here to visit including the famous Agios Nickolaos tis Stegis which has some impressive murals dating from the 11th-17th century. The church of Agios Georgios Perachoritis also has some original 16th century wall paintings for you to admire.
Kakopetria is approximately 50km from the city of Nicosia about a 50 minute journey by car.
