Kykkos Monastery
Located in the Troodos Mountains, The Holy Monastery of the Virgin of Kykkos was founded during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos at the end of the 11th century AD. The monastery is the home for a very old icon of Mary and Christ, supposedly painted by Luke.
A few kilometers higher up in the mountains is located the tomb of Archbishop Makarios, an important Cypriot politician and religious figure.
