The passage describes the geographical features of Cyprus, focusing on its mountain ranges and the Messorea plain. The northernmost range, extending from Cape Kormakiti to Cape St. Andrea, includes the Carpas and Troodos ranges. The Troodos range, with peaks like Korros, Buffavento, and Pentadaktylos, is particularly notable for its rugged terrain and fertile watersheds. The southern range, starting with Santa Croce, culminates in Mount Troodos, the highest point in Cyprus. The Messorea plain, located between the two ranges, is the most fertile part of the island, known for its wheat, barley, and cotton crops. The plain is characterized by flat-topped plateaux and rich alluvial deposits, formed by rivers that flow from the mountains. The passage also mentions the importance of irrigation and water supply, as well as the presence of forests and wildlife in the region.The passage describes the geographical features of Cyprus, focusing on its mountain ranges and the Messorea plain.
