Mount Olympus
-
Visit the highest peak of the Troodos range for fantastic views over the mountains and down to the sea. It’s a welcome breath of cool mountain air in summer and, from January to early March, a skier’s delight. The 1,950-m (6,400-ft) peak shares its name with the much higher mountain that was the legendary home of Zeus and the rest of the Greek gods on mainland Greece, and with other summits in the Greek islands and Asia Minor. It is also known as Chionistra or “the snowy one” (see Mount Olympus).
