What's it like at Mt Olympus resort?
The sport of skiing first appeared on Cyprus sometime around 1934, when a group of people created the first 'Mountaineering Club' of the island. After World War II, the Cyprus Ski Club was created in 1947 and since then it has a leading role in the development of skiing on the island. The first lift was built and operated on the eastern face of Mt Olympus, while a second lift was built in 1951 to the west of Troodos Square. Today many hundreds of Cypriots and perhaps as many foreigners enjoy the wonderful sport of skiing every winter on the beautiful slopes of Mt Olympus. Skiing, with its 60 year plus history on this island, is here not only to stay, but to continue its growth. The nearest airport to Mt Olympus is Larnaka.

Visitor Reviews of Mt Olympus
Glen from United Kingdom writes:
I have been to Bulgaria and Austria skiing in the past and I took up snowboarding (and not great) after paying £2000 for a week. I had enough as its not my main holiday and I only used 15% of the mountain. I looked at cheaper options as I wanted to take the whole family of four to learn. After looking at Germany and Scotland, my father said "what about Cyprus?" We have a family home in Limassol, it's one road to the top of Mt Olympus. I went with him first time and hired a snowboard. I now have been three years running and in 6 weeks booked to take the wife and children with our equipment. For those on a budget take a seat now!.
Return flight for family four 1 x week in end of February including ski equipment luggage fee (half term) including a weeks parking at the airport £170 .
Car pick up from airport and drop £94
ebay rummaging for three sets of skis and poles with boots/(to take and leave in the house) plus helmets from decathlon £210
