We were lucky enough to be able to spend a wonderful night in Troodos Mountains with some relatives of ours. Troodos was such a beautiful place to be able to visit! We had a beautiful 2 hour drive with some great stops along the way. We stopped at a few view points along the way - the mountains and countryside in Cyprus are so different to here in Australia! We also stopped at Katrina's sweet shop which had lots of delicious home made sweets and souvenirs. Once we arrived at our destination, we met up with our relatives and went for a beautiful rainforest walk to the Caledonia Falls which took around an hour! After that we went back to the house and had a nice lunch then headed off to look around the village. We had a wonderful frappe at a cafe with a beautiful view of the mountains and then went and saw an EXTREMELY old monastery from the 11th century! Troodos Mountains was such a scenic area - everywhere you looked there was something beautiful to see.
That night my cousin, brother and I walked to the 'unofficial tourist attraction' of Cyprus, The old and abandoned 'Hotel Berengaria' which was once for the rich and famous! It was awesome to go to at night time! It was super spooky and we went on the different levels and had an amazing time. The next morning we went to Kykkos Monastery which was very interesting and then had lunch. We then went back to the haunted hotel to have a better look in the daytime. We had an awesome time in Troodos mountains and I would love to go back there sometime.
