Other activities and worth-visiting places

Of the most interesting sites to visit, are the very old monasteries, most of which are found along the perimeter of the Park. Many of them have been restored and are protected like the Ayios Nikolaos at Kakopetria, Ayios loannis Lampadistis at Kalopanayiotis village and Timios Stavros at Peledri. The traditional way of life can be seen in many villages and local products can be bought. Furthermore, one can spend one's time in an interesting way , by visiting Caledonia falls, the closed Asbestos mine where restoration works are in progress, the Mouflon enclosure at Platania Forest Station and the century-old trees of black pine and foetid juniper on the higher elevations of the park.

Activities related to snow can only be pursued during January and February and in some years from December to March when snow is present. The Park provides unique opportunities to photographers both amateur and professional, to bird-watchers and to those who like studying plants and geology.

Accommodation is offered both near Troodos Square and - mainly- at nearby villages, like Kakopetria, Pano Platres, Pelendri etc.
