Troodos Mountains carry a story that begins deep beneath the Tethys Ocean. In this first episode of the Troodos Mountains Series, we explore how this region began its life underwater around 92 million years ago—and how slow tectonic movement transformed an ancient ocean floor into the mountain range we know today. You’ll learn how Troodos’ unusual origin still shapes the landscape we see today: the steep valleys, the cliff formations, the colours in the rock faces, and the rugged terrain that feels different from other mountain regions. We also look at how people adapted to this environment over time—building villages on slopes, carving terraces for farming, and developing traditions shaped by altitude and climate. This episode sets the foundation for understanding Troodos as both a geological and cultural landscape. 📍 Want to explore more? The Troodos Geopark Visitor Centre is the best place to start if you want to dive deeper into the region’s formation. 🎧 Next Episode: We continue the journey on the Artemis Trail, where Troodos’ geological history becomes visible in the landscape at almost 1,900 metres. 👉 Subscribe to Her Impact for more travel stories. #mountains #geotourism #geology #storytelling #troodosgeopark #herimpactpodcast #travel
