Outstanding natural beauty

Writes from Nicosia, Cyprus
Troodos is the biggest mountain range of Cyprus, located in the center of the island. Its highest peak is Mount Olymbus at 1,952 meters. The geology of the area has a great scientific importance. The internationally known ophiolite complex of Troodos is one of only a few in the world lending themselves to specialized scientific research and, particularly, the understanding of the formation of the ocean crust.
