Stelios Environmental Centre in Pedoulas
Pedoulas – birthplace of Stelios’ father, Loucas – the Stelios Environmental Centre in Pedoulas will welcome thousands of students from the island as well as international research teams to study the flora and fauna of the Troodos Mountain area to better understand this unique ecosystem and how to protect it.
