Troodos: Roads Open Only for 4x4 or Vehicles with Chains

Due to snowfall and frost, the roads leading to Troodos are open only to vehicles with four-wheel drive or equipped with anti-slip chains, as reported by the Police. Specifically, the Platron–Troodos, Karvouna–Troodos, Prodromou–Troodos, and Pedoula–Prodromou roads have particularly slippery surfaces. Landslides have also been reported on the Kalopanagiotis – Moutoulla – Pedoula, Kakopetria – Karvouna, Pedoula – Kykkos – Kampou, Kykkos – Tsakkistra, and Kampou – Orkontas – Kato Pyrgos roads. Conversely, the Prodromou–Lemithou and Kakopetria–Pinewood–Pedoula roads remain open to all vehicles, but are still slippery due to light snowfall or frost. No problems are reported on the rest of the road network in urban areas and on the highways. Police advise drivers to be careful, follow the Highway Code, and obey traffic signs to avoid accidents.
