Description:

Prodromos is located in the Troodos Mountains, northwest of Limassol in Cyprus. It has an altitude of 1380 metres and is the main centre for skiing and winter sports in Cyprus.
 
The road running through Prodromos connects the village of Pedoulas which is 3 kilometres away and Pano Platres about 2 kilometres away and also the villages of Paliomylos and Lemythou. Troodos square is about 8 kilometres away.

The name Prodromos meaning 'Forerunner' (to Christ) is taken from the title in Greek Orthodoxy of John the Baptist.

The commerce in Prodromos is mainly agriculture including fruit growing, in particular apples. Because of its heavy annual rainfall, a dam was built to help cultivate the land and surrounding villages.
 
Due to being so close to Mount Olympus, it is seen as a good location for the skiing season and tourism has increased in the village hotels.
