About Troodos Visitor Centre
The Troodos Environmental (Visitor) Centre explains why the Troodos mountains are geologically unusual and what lives in the forests. There is an exhibition gallery and a film theatre.
Outside, a short botanical and geological trail shows real examples of the plants and rocks, which makes a good first walk for children before a longer trail.
