Holidays in Platres

The main mountain resort of the island, Platres, is situated in the fragrant pine and cedar forested Troodos mountains, 1,100 metres above sea level. A fresh, cool location in the heat of the summer and a skiing base in winter, Platres is ideal for those who enjoy the countryside and walking, or just sitting in one of the many tree-shaded open-air cafés and admiring the view. The impressive Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus, offering cool sanctuary and idyllic hours spent in long walks in its scented pine forests in summer and winter sports and skiing in winter.
