Kykkos Monastery

A place of peace and beauty. We drove from Paphos, and the roads are challenging. The journey took about 1h 40m, but it was so worth it. The monastery has a museum that is so well presented and kept that it rivals some countries' national museums. I can not state enough just how absolutely jaw-dropping it is.

It's beautiful, but it didn't leave a big impression. It's convenient if you don't want to/can't go up, there's a golf cart that takes you almost right to the temple, and it goes back and forth all day.

The nicest Monastery I have ever seen. 5Euro entrance but I would pay 20, it is so well kept and rich. Highly recommended.

The Holy Monastery of the Virgin Mary of Kykkos is a truly beautiful and spiritually rich place, nestled high in the Troodos Mountains. The architecture, artwork, and peaceful atmosphere make it a memorable stop for anyone visiting the area.Be prepared, though—the road leading up to the monastery is quite challenging, with steep and winding sections. Despite the difficult drive, the destination is absolutely worth it. A stunning site with breathtaking surroundings.

Kykkos Monastery is truly worth a visit. Its stunning mosaics covering walls, ceilings, and archways are absolutely breathtaking, and the whole place radiates beauty and tranquillity. Give yourself at least a couple of hours to wander slowly and absorb the artistry, history, and peaceful atmosphere. A memorable and inspiring stop in Cyprus.

I loved this place. The mosiacs were fabulous.There are many historical artifacts in the museum, ticket entry required. We'll worth taking the time to explore.When visiting, please remember it is a holy place and should be treated with reverence and respect. If you don't, expect to be shouted at or thrown out:Ladies, cover up exposed breasts, midriff, and thighs.Guys, wear a shirt or short sleeved tee shirt and long shorts or trousers.It was embarrassing to see this happen.And remember to respect the wishes of the monastery and not take photos inside the church.

Amazing paintings and architecture. Everything inside and outside was spectacularly well preserved. Monastery lacks intimacy of other more hidden sites, but it makes it up by the scale of wealth and arts inside. There's 5 euro museum inside, we didn't go in, the "free" part was more than enough.

Absolutely incredible place. A must visit if you are in Cyprus.
