Olympus, or Chionistra, ({{lang-el|Όλυμπος}} or {{lang-el|Χιονίστρα}}) at {{convert|1952|m|ft}}, is the highest point in Cyprus.[3] It is located in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus.[4] Mount Olympus peak and the "Troodos Square" fall under the territory of Platres in Limassol District. A British long range radar currently operates at Mount Olympus' peak.

The Mount Olympus Ski resort consists of the Sun Valley and North Face areas. Each area has its own chairlifts and runs.

Writing in the late first century BC or first century AD, the geographer Strabo reported that on one of its promontories was a temple to Aphrodite of the Heights ({{lang-el|ἀκραία}}), which women were forbidden to enter.[5]

There are 4 ski slopes:

  • Aphrodite or Sun Valley I, Length: 150m, Level: Beginner
  • Hermes or Sun Valley II, Length: 150m, Level: Intermediate
  • Dias/Zeus or North Face I, Length: 500m, Level: Advanced
  • Hera or North Face II, Length: 350m, Level: Beginner
