Olympus, at 1,952 metres (6,404 ft), is the highest point of the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus.[1] A British long range radar currently operates at Mount Olympus' peak. The Mount Olympus Ski resort, Sun Valley and North Face, has three T bars, one chairlift, and seven runs.
On one of its promontories was a temple to Aphrodite of the Heights (Greek: ἀκραία), into which women were not permitted to enter.[2]
