Sightseeing in Cyprus – churches, chapels and monasteries
Holidays in Cyprus offer up picture-perfect beaches, delicious food and year-round sun. Venture away from the coastline and you’ll see that it’s packed with culture, too. At least 80 per cent of the Cypriot population are Greek orthodox and this means that, anywhere you go, there are beautiful churches to discover – ranging from grand cathedrals to rustic whitewashed chapels.
Are you ready to see a different side to Cyprus?
During this video, you’ll see inside the Kykkos Monastery. Nestled within the Troodos Mountains less than an hour’s drive from Limassol, it’s famous for being one of the most elaborate landmarks in Cyprus. After passing through the lavish entrance, you’ll enter a courtyard bordered by grand stone arches. From there, you can visit the church, every inch of which is dressed in gold, or head to the museum to sneak a peek at artefacts from the early Byzantine periods. Also check out our Treasures of Troodos excursion.
