FOREST PARK HOTEL-PLATRES CYPRUS
HISTORY
The Forest Park Hotel was founded by George. H. Skyrianides. The construction started in 1932 in Pano Platres with architecture plans by Samuel Barkai, supervised by Civil Engineer Benzian Ginsburg and officially opened in July 1936.
The hotel stands amidst its own forest and gardens. It was then the only hotel in Cyprus able to cater for its clients with international standards such as individual bathrooms, large Ballroom, Dinning Rooms, Bar, Library, Lounge, Billiards room, Tennis court and its own power generator.
It was in a position to cater for the discerning clients and royalties of the time. Originally the hotel had 70 bedrooms and then between 1946 and 1948 a further 30 wereadded, totalling 100 rooms. At the time this was a large hotel for Cyprus standards.
During the Second World War the hotel in 1941 – 1943 was commandeered as an Army Hospital. It had a similar fate during the Suez Canal Operation in 1956; when it was taken over to act as Head quarters for the Field Records. In 1960s with the declaration of the Cyprus Republic independence, the hotel was registered, as Forest Park Hotel
In 1962 Hercules Skyrianides enter the company as Assistant Manager. A year later, an outdoor half Olympic size and a small children’s swimming pool were built in the grounds. In 1972 the hotel was made into a limited company by the name of Skyrianides Hotels Ltd. The ownership was then transferred to George Skyrianides Children, Hercules, Anthony and Daphne as the shareholders of the company. Anthony Skyrianides also joined in 1974 as Assistant Manager.
In the early seventies, a third floor was added with ten rooms and major refurbishments were carried out. In the early eighties, six chalet suites were built in the grounds, mainly for the Arab Sheikhs - amongst them the Leaders of Kuwait and Qatar. The hotel underwent major renovations in the late 80's and early 90's.
After refurbishing the existing rooms a new extension of 54 new rooms were built in 1992 and were completed in 1995. The new extension also consists of indoor heated pool, gymnasium, sauna, jacuzzi, hairdressing salon, massage room and a new conference room. The hotel reached the final number of 137 rooms.
The late George H. Skyrianides passed away in June 2001, at the age of 94. In 2002 the eldest son of Antony Skyrianides, George and in 2005 the youngest son, Marios after finishing their studies of Hospitality Management in Switzerland, joined the hotel both as part of the Management.
During the winter months of 2003, the hotel went through major renovations with a facelift of the public areas and reopened its doors in the March 2004. After the renovations Mr. Hercules, Mr. Anthony Skyrianides and Mrs Dafni Demetriadou, became directors and a new General Manager was appointed, Mr. Vassos Vassiliou.
When the hotel reopened in 2004 more family members like Sofianna and Polina Demetriadou (daughters of Dafni) and Gisselle Skyrianidou (wife of George), joined the hotel to assist in many various positions. The Forest Park Hotel is a family run 4 star hotel and under the personal supervision of the owners, in their fourth generation.
CYPRUS: Troodos mountains / Pedoulas [HD]
Troodos is the largest mountain range in Cyprus, located roughly in the center of the island. The highest peak is Mount Olympus at 1,952 meters, which hosts four ski slopes. The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus.
There are many Byzantine monasteries,churches on mountain peaks and famous mountain resorts. And nestling in its valleys and picturesque mountains are villages clinging to terraced hill slopes. The area has been known since antiquity for its mines, which for centuries supplied copper to the entire Mediterranean.
In the Byzantine period it became a great centre of Byzantine art, as churches and monasteries were built in the mountains, away from the threatened coastline.

(5:32)
Pedoulas is a village in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, located at an altitude of 1100m in the Troodos Mountains. It is known for its 12 churches, varying from a 15th-century chapel to a 1930's cathedral. The Church of Holy Cross is the main church of the community. Its construction began in 1933 and completed in 1935.

Troodos Mountains, Cyprus 2017
Troodos Mountains are located in the center of the island of Cyprus. The highest peak is snow-covered Mount Olympus (also spelled Mount Olympos) at 1,952 meters above sea level. There are various Byzantine churches and monasteries in the region, including the most well-known Kykkos Monastery. Troodos Mountains are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and definitely worth visiting.
In this fourth part of my Cyprus Road Trip VLOG series, join me as I discover Mount Olympus, the High Cross and the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross above Pedoulas village, Kykkos Monastery and the beautiful Cedar Valley. The drive through Cedar Valley was one of the most breathtaking road trips I have ever done and the video footage doesn't do this epic part of the island any justice.
Follow me on my one-week road trip across the island of CYPRUS in February 2017 - visiting Larnaca, Cape Greko, Ayia Napa, Nissi Beach, Nicosia (Lefkosia/Lefkoşa), Troodos Mountains, Paphos, Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock), Kourion, Limassol and Governor's Beach.
Part 1 (Larnaca):
Part 2 (Ayia Napa, Cape Greko, Nissi Beach):
Part 3 (Nicosia):
Part 5 will feature Paphos, the European Capital of Culture 2017 - coming soon!
