Wandering through mountain villages is one way we travel in the mountains worldwide. In Europe, our favorite mountain villages are on Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean.
If you’re planning a summer trip to Cyprus, take cheap flights to Cyprus, be an agrotourist and soak up mountain village life on the slopes of Troodos Mountains.

Horizon Fields: A Landscape Installation in the High Alps of Vorarlberg, Austria,© Antony Gormley and Kunsthaus Bregenz. Photo credit: Markus Tretter
In the mountains of Vorarlberg, Austria, British artist Antony Gormley will exhibit Horizon Fields, August 2010 – April 2012, in co-operation with the Kunsthaus Bregenz.
Says Antony Gormley:

The whole point of this work is to make a connection between that which is palpable, perceivable and imaginable. It’s a field of relations between mind and body, in which some of the bodies are surrogates and some are real.”
