04 Kykkos Monastery
Founded during the 11th century, Kykkos Monastery is a well-known holy place in Cyprus that has few legends regarding a hermit attached to it. The original church was home to the icon of the Apostle Luke, which is covered in silver gilt and displayed in a precious shrine. The monastery is one of the wealthiest in the country, probably because it produces a variety of alcoholic drinks, including Ziviana spirit, a type of brandy.
