The mountain in earlier times had been known under the name of Olympus, but nowadays the highest point of the Troodos Mountains further to the west bears that name.

Willibrandi de Oldenburg, for example, visited Stavrovouni in 1211 and wrote, " The cross of the Good Thief is on the highest mountain in Cyprus "-which was wrong, as Stavrovouni is not as high as the Troodos peak.

Mount Olympus peak and the " Troodos Square " fall under the territory of Platres in Limassol district.

The island is dominated by two mountain ranges, the Troodos Mountains and the Kyrenia Mountains, and the central plain, the Mesaoria, which is between them.

It is not as high as the Troodos Mountains, and it occupies substantially less area.

Limassol is the base for many of the island's wine companies, serving the wine-growing regions on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains ( of which the most famous is Commandaria ).

Tethyan ophiolites are characteristic of those that occur in the eastern Mediterranean sea area, e. g., Troodos in Cyprus and in the Middle East such as Semail in Oman, which consist of relatively complete rock series corresponding to the classic ophiolite assemblage and which have been emplaced onto a passive continental margin more or less intact ( Tethys is the name given to the ancient sea that once separated Europe and Africa ).

Troodos ( ()) is the biggest mountain range of Cyprus, located in the center of the island.

The Troodos mountain is known worldwide for its astounding geology and the presence of undisturbed specimens of ophiolite.

The Mesaoria plain is bounded on the east and west by the Mediterranean Sea, on the south by the Troodos mountains and on the north by the Kyrenia mountains.

As the newcomers knew how to work with copper they soon moved to the so-called copperbelt of the island, that is the foothills of the Troodos mountains.

It is located in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus.

This recognition was tied to two events: ( 1 ) the observation of magnetic anomaly stripes on the seafloor, parallel to oceanic ridge systems, interpreted by Frederick Vine and Drummond Matthews to represent the formation of new crust at the oceanic ridge and its subsequent symmetric spreading away from that ridge, and ( 2 ) the observation of a sheeted dike complex within the Troodos ophiolite ( Cyprus ) by Ian Graham Gass and co-workers, which must have formed by repetitive extension of crust and intrusion of magma resulting in a formation consisting of 100 % dikes with no older wall rocks preserved within the complex.

Moores and Vine concluded that the sheeted dike complex at Troodos could only form by a process similar to the seafloor spreading proposed by Vine and Matthews.

The Troodos Mountains cover most of the southern and western portions of the island and account for roughly half its area.

The A9 connects Nicosia to the west Nicosia district villages and the Troodos mountains.

Ironically, some of the classic ophiolite occurrences used to relate ophiolites to seafloor spreading ( Troodos in Cyprus, Semail in Oman ) were found to be " SSZ " ophiolites, formed by rapid extension of fore-arc crust during subduction initiation.

In Cyprus the battalion was successful in Operation Golden Rain, destroying a major EOKA terrorist group operating in the Troodos Mountains in 1956.

The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus.

Troodos slowly rose from the sea due to the collision of the African and European tectonic plates, a process that eventually formed the island of Cyprus.

The highest peak is Aconcagua of Argentina ( see below ).
