From the snow-covered peaks of the Troodos Mountains to the frost-kissed villages, Cypriots have been busy sharing their winter moments.
Families are building snowmen, adventurous souls are skiing down the slopes, and everyone’s enjoying the rare spectacle. The hashtag #SnowInCyprus has been trending, with users posting stunning snapshots of white-draped landscapes, kids sledding, and heartwarming scenes of pets experiencing snow for the first time.
One particularly popular post features Troodos Square, where the snow depth reached 3 centimeters, creating a picture-perfect holiday card scene. Another viral image shows a hiker’s trail at Chionistra, blanketed in 5 centimeters of pristine snow, with the caption: “Who needs the Alps when you have Troodos?”
