Παγκόσμιο Γεωπάρκο Τροόδους UNESCO - Troodos UNESCO Global Geopark *Troodos Geopark Visitor Centre In other words, an ophiolite complex that was formed 90 million years ago, 8,000 metres below sea level.

The formation of Cyprus is directly linked to the creation of the Troodos mountain range, as a result of a series of unique and complex geological processes which have made Cyprus a geological model for researchers from around the world, contributing to a better understanding of the development of the oceans and of the planet in general. Neither the residents of Cyprus nor the island's foreign vis

itors would ever suspect that the wooded peak of Troodos is actually the deepest layer of a section of oceanic crust and the Earth's upper mantle. The Troodos Geopark is located in the central part of Cyprus and its area is approximately 137,000 hectares (1,370 sq.m.), covering 45% of the total area of the Troodos range and 15% of the total area of Cyprus. Responsible Body for Troodos Geopark and Geopark's visitors Center is Troodos Development Company.
