Drive into nature
Mount Olympus
At over 1,900 metres, Mount Olympus is the island’s highest point. In winter, snow falls over the mountain, turning its carpets of green forest white. With plenty of mountainside resorts, it’s a popular area for skiing and winter sports.
Mount Olympus is situated within the Troodos mountain range. Declared a national park in 1992, the Troodos Mountains are home to many Byzantine monasteries and churches, as well as an assortment of flora filled valleys and charming alpine villages. There are a variety of different hiking routes through the mountains, each with their own stunning overviews of the land. During the summer, it’s a great place to escape the beachfront heat and enjoy the pine-scented air.
The Mount Olympus and the Troodos Mountains are roughly an hour’s drive from Limassol. Make sure to have a full tank of gas before leaving the city as there are not many petrol stations out of town.

Foodie delights
A taste of Cyprus
A mix of Turkish and Greek cuisine, Cypriot dishes are a Mediterranean medley of flavours that have expanded in fame far beyond the small island. Here are some signature foods to indulge in while in Limassol.
Meze – Translated, meze means “small dishes”. A selection of hot and cold appetizers, it’s a bit like Spanish tapas. From hummus and tzatziki to dolmades (grape leaves) these small bites can quickly become a fest.
Moussaka – Layers of aubergine, lamb and mushrooms or potatoes are topped with a thick layer of bechamel sauce. Its rich and completely satisfying.
Halloumi – This cheese hardly needs any introduction nowadays, though you may not have realised it originated from Cyprus. Its semi-hard and rubbery texture make it perfect for grilling. It is commonly eaten as an appetizer on the island.
