Caution for Those Traveling to Troodos – Roads Open Only for 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, this applies to the Platron-Troodos, Karvouna-Troodos, Prodromou-Troodos, and Pedoula-Prodromou roads. Landslides of rocks and soil have been reported on the following roads: Kalopanayiotis – Moutoulla – Pedoula, Kakopetria – Karvouna, Pedoula – Kykkos – Kampou, Kykkos – Tsakkistra, and Kampou – Orkontas – Kato Pyrgos. Drivers are urged to be particularly careful. The Prodromou-Lemithou and Kakopetria-Pinewood-Pedoula roads are open to all vehicles, but remain slippery due to light snowfall or ice. Police advise drivers to adhere to the traffic code and pay attention to traffic signs. There are no particular problems on the rest of the road network in urban areas and on the highways. Drivers can find information about any road works that may affect traffic on a related website.
