Mount Olympus Overview

Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Cyprus, presents an exhilarating and adventurous experience for visitors. The journey to the top offers a unique contrast, taking you from warm, sunny weather at sea level to snow-covered landscapes within a short span of time. Despite the ski lift sometimes being out of order, the adventure of the drive and the breathtaking views at the top make it well worth the effort. However, caution is advised for those using two-wheeled vehicles due to the cold temperatures at high altitudes.

The peak itself hosts a military base, limiting access to the very top, but this doesn't detract from the overall experience. The surrounding area offers a stunning panoramic view of almost the entire island. Lower down, the forested areas are filled with snow and provide an equally stunning vista. There is also a range of facilities available, including parking and a small coffee stand.

Mount Olympus is not just about the views, it also offers adventurous hiking opportunities. The Artemis trail provides a fairly easy and enjoyable hike around the summit, taking approximately two hours to complete. This, along with other trails and walks to the military base, offers a variety of experiences to suit different preferences and fitness levels.

While the mountain can get crowded on weekends, it's generally peaceful and offers a unique experience in every season. In winter, the mountaintop transforms into a snow paradise and in summer, it offers a cool retreat with stunning views. There are also multiple waterfalls in the area that add to the overall beauty of the place.

Whether you're looking for a challenging hike, a scenic drive, or simply a unique experience, Mount Olympus is an ideal destination. It offers a blend of nature, adventure, and tranquility that leaves a lasting impression on its visitors.
