More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the coast’s glare into a cooler world of stone lanes and cedar-scented air as the minivan threads the foothills toward the Troodos. The road climbs and opens into villages where women still fry halloumi on flat pans and smoke-sweet aromas drift from village bakeries; a family winery waits with oak barrels and a story to tell.
