HOLY MONASTERY OF SAINT MINAS

In the heart of mountainous Larnaca, nestled in a verdant valley near the traditional village of Vavla, rises the Holy Monastery of Saint Minas. The monastic complex, with roots that are lost in the depths of the 15th century, captivates the visitor with its stone-built beauty, harmoniously wedding the Byzantine ecclesiastical tradition with medieval Gothic influences. Today it operates as a serene sisterhood. The nuns, beyond their rich work of worship, keep alive the traditions of iconography, handicraft and the making of pure, homemade products. The site is an earthly spiritual haven that offers complete tranquillity, devotion and an authentic taste of the Cypriot monastic heritage.
