See Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery with its own winery, featuring vividly colored orthodox frescoes and collections of priceless relics and icons. According to legend, a local monk came across a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary painted by Luke the Evangelist that was washed out to sea; he collected it and dedicated this monastery to the icon in 1152. The present building, which dates to 1770, hosts an important Cypriot religious ceremony and holds fine vintage wine. View a gold- and silver-plated icon of the Virgin Mary at the gallery, and browse through Byzantine and post-Byzantine collections. You'll also find a rustic cafe on site. PutChrysorrogiatissa Monastery into our Pano Panayia tour builder and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

My fav monastery in Cyprus. It’s not commercialised and it has amazing views. They also produce some very good wine, especially the red one (Agios Elias).

This is the place if you need few hours of peace. The view from balcony/terrace blower out minds, we were just sitting there for a while and enjoying fascinating landscape. This is a small monastery, so it's quite empty which is great. Vine cellar and church were interesting to see. And you MUST buy vine here, it is very cheap (5€ for a bottle) and really really tasty. To wrap it up: nice and peaceful place.

A beautiful, serene and well kept monastery. Lucky to have visited during an atmospheric fog. Excellent shop selling monastery wine (nice Riesling), books and religious items
