Troodos Observatory

astronomical observatory in the Pitsilia mountains

Why go

The observatory stands at 1250 metres in Agridia, near the villages of Agros and Kyperounda. By day it offers a tour of exhibits such as a meteorite, a visit to the 0.5 m telescope and, weather permitting, a look at the Sun through the helioscope. In the evening there is a short talk on stargazing, a practical session with telescopes and binoculars, and observing in the telescope dome when the weather allows.

Good for: amateur astronomers, families with children
