We visited in September 2011 and it was quite a small monestry but was very nice and quiet. Nothing was out of place, there was a couple of stalls outside and one in perticular was selling grapes they were amazing. Definitely a place to have a look round :)

Monasteries always facinate me although I am not a very religious person.The peace and tranquility is always wonderful and this was no exception

This was the first visit for some of our group and they were blown away by the beauty of the chapel. The artwork and carvings are wonderful and as you stand in front of it you can feel the care and love lavished on the work.

This is a wonderful monastery, and well worth the drive from Limassol or Paphos. The amount of gold, is amazing, and makes it well worth a visit. There is a lovely sense of peace and serenity in and around the monastery.

again peace and tranquility come togther to feed the soul plus it also sports a good winery next to it which the Abbot has been a keen supporter and dedicated winemaker...great chandeliers in the church very kitsch!

Really lovely smaller monastery with views over the countryside - would have been a nice place to stay!
