Cyprus Hill Station





Summers are extremely hot in Cyprus so many people head for the beautiful beaches or up into the central highlands around Mount Olympus. Our 10-day plan is to mix it up with a few days on the beach, some time in the mountains, several days in the capital city of Lefkosia, then across the border to northern beaches on the Turkish side of the island. The above photos were taken in and around the mountain town of Platres in central Cyprus, where many Cypriots go to hike, dine out, and enjoy the carnival-like atmosphere and cool mountain air. While hiking on a mountain trail several hours outside of town one morning we came across some Russian musicians with masks making a film in the woods.
