This guide is to some of the more accessible rock outcrops in southern Cyprus, including those of the world famous Troodos (Troodhos) Range. It is designed to give the questing novice in the subject of Geology a glimpse of the wide variety of igneous, sedimentary and occasional metamorphic rock types, and rock structures, which constitute this sector of the island and explain the significance of what can be seen at any given locality. Nonetheless, many technical names and expressions have had to be introduced, which is why a glossary is included.
