Description
The Troodos mountain range runs through the middle of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Much of it is densely forested, but there are also countless villages, monasteries and wineries. This picture was taken in the Commandaria region. Commandaria is a sweet red wine, named the wine of the Kings, by Richard the Lionheart. In the distance, is a snow capped Mount Olympus 1985 meters above sea level. The island has huge diversity in climate and flora. For instance the point where this photograph was taken is approximately 1000 meters above sea level, yet only 20 minutes drive from the sea. Yet 20 minutes in the opposite direction and you are on Olympus. This means you can ski on snow and swim in the sea on the same day, quite unique!
