Troödos Mountains, Cyprus
Small towns dot the landscape of the Troödos Mountains on the republic of Cyprus, an island nation in the Mediterranean. The Troödos, the largest of two mountain ranges on island, rise southwest of the flat, treeless plain known as the Mesaoria that covers most of central Cyprus. Although most of Cyprus enjoys a warm climate all year, portions of the Troödos receive winter snows and more than 100 cm (40 in) of rain annually.
