We visited Kykkos on a recent holiday in Cyprus (our first). It was a long day out taking in much of the Troodos area. Because of the very wet winter Cyprus has just had, everything was so green and the wild flowers were lovely. But the highlight was Kykkos. It's spectacular - if you like icons and frescos. Entry is... More

Interesting to visit for its place in the history of modern Cyprus, although the buildings are not particularly old. Archbishop Makarios was a novice monk here. There are some good modern frescoes and mosaics telling the story of the monastery and its great treasure of the icon given to its founder by the Byzantine emperor, as well as Bible stories,... More

Lost in the mountains, this remote place seems to be like a flawless jewel. Everything is absolutely a wonder, the architecture, the paintings, the church (inside), and much more. Don't miss this place, it really worth the trip. More

The Glory of God is truly displayed in these... More

It was an all day tour visiting this monastery and another one,... More
