Troodos mountains Cyprus The Troodos mountains are located in the centre of the island. The higher mountain is called Olympos and its top is called Hionistra. Hionistra has a height of 1952 meters (6404 feet). Pentadaktilos, the other mountain-chain in Cyprus is located in the north Cyprus. This rocky five finger mountain rises 700 meters above sea level and harbours the legend of the Byzantine hero Digenis, who defeated the invading Arabs with supernatural strength.
