Slippery Roads in the Mountains - 4x4 or Anti-Slip Chains Required for Troodos

Slippery road conditions are reported in the mountainous and semi-mountainous areas of Cyprus due to frost. Police announce that access to Troodos is only possible with 4x4 vehicles or the use of anti-slip chains. Drivers are urged to be particularly careful when driving in these areas, to obey the traffic code and comply with traffic signs, in order to avoid road accidents. The Platron – Troodos, Karvouna – Troodos, and Prodromou – Troodos roads are most affected by frost and require extra caution. Police advise drivers to avoid traveling to these areas unless absolutely necessary.
