Cheap Hotels in Troodos

Escape the coastal heat and head for the cool, pine-scented air of the Troodos Mountains. This region is the green heart of Cyprus, a world of forested trails, traditional stone villages like Omodos and Kakopetria, and Byzantine history. The main draw is its incredible diversity: you can hike to the summit of Mount Olympus for panoramic views, explore the UNESCO-listed frescoes in churches like Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis, or simply enjoy a slow coffee in a Platres village square.

Troodos is ideal for active travellers, nature-loving couples, and families seeking a break from the beach. The best areas to stay are in the main resort villages such as Pedoulas for its central location or Pano Platres for its charming atmosphere and proximity to the Caledonia Falls trail. While having a car offers the most freedom to explore the scattered villages, local buses connect the major points from the main towns. The climate here is a welcome relief, with warm summers perfect for walking and winters that bring a dusting of snow to the highest peaks.

Accommodation here is dominated by family-run guesthouses, rustic lodges, and a few modern hotels that make the most of the mountain views. You'll find everything from simple, budget-friendly rooms to more refined boutique properties with fireplaces for chilly evenings. For a comfortable stay with easy access to the forests, consider the Troodos Hotel in Pedoulas, which offers a traditional base for your mountain adventures.
