Troodos Roads Open Only to 4x4 Vehicles or with Anti-Slip Chains

Roads leading to Troodos are open only to four-wheel drive vehicles or those equipped with anti-slip chains due to snowfall and ice. Specifically, the Platron-Troodos, Karvouna-Troodos, Prodromou-Troodos, and Pedoula-Prodromou roads are slippery. Additionally, landslides have been reported on several roads, including Kalopanayiotis – Moutoulla – Pedoula, Kakopetria – Karvouna, Pedoula – Kykkos – Kampou, Kykkos – Tsakkistra, and Kampou – Orkontas – Kato Pyrgos. The Prodromou-Lemithou and Kakopetria-Pinewood-Pedoula roads are open but slippery due to light snowfall or ice. The remaining road network in urban areas and highways is clear of any significant issues. Police advise motorists to be particularly careful, to observe the traffic code and to follow the instructions of traffic police to avoid accidents. The situation on the Troodos roads is difficult and requires special attention from drivers, especially during the morning hours when frost is more intense. Information on road conditions is constantly updated, and drivers are urged to stay informed before starting their journey.
