The Troodos Mountains
The Troodos Mountains
Where Nature Perfects Every Drop
The Troodos Mountains are the heart and soul of Cyprus, and the source of Aqua Kaliana's exceptional water. Rising majestically from the island's center, these ancient peaks have been creating and purifying water for millions of years.
Designated a UNESCO Global Geopark, the Troodos range represents one of the most complete and well-studied ophiolite complexes in the world - a testament to its extraordinary geological significance.
UNESCO Global Geopark
Recognized for exceptional geological significance and natural beauty

Geological Marvel
Ancient Formation
The Troodos mountain range is an ophiolite - a piece of ancient oceanic crust that was uplifted from the seabed over 90 million years ago. This unique geological structure creates an ideal natural water filtration system.
Natural Aquifer
The complex geology of the mountains creates:
- Natural Filtration - Multiple rock layers filter water naturally
- Mineral Enrichment - Limestone and ancient rocks add beneficial minerals
- Protected Reservoirs - Deep underground aquifers maintain water purity
- Continuous Flow - Consistent spring supply throughout the year
