A trip into the mountains

The summits of the Troodos mountains in the distance

The village of Foini

Kykko Monastery (in full, the Holy Royal and Stavropiyiaki Monastery of the Virgin Mary) in the Troodos mountains

The bells up on the hillside

Some of the brightly coloured mosaics on the walls of the monastery

Tradition has it that Byzantine Emperor Alexios Comnenos I (1081-1118) was prompted to establish the monastery in 1100 after the hermit Isaiah, who lived in the Troodos mountains, revealed that his daughter could be healed from a rare incurable disease if he would consent to build a monastery and donate to it the icon of the Virgin he possessed, reputedly painted by the Apostle Luke

A familiar title on sale by the monastery.

At the Pissouri Amphitheatre, opened in 2000

At the beginning of As You Like It, the dancers perform for the lawful duke, as the last rays of the sun disappear from the tops of the hills towards Limassol.

The happy ending, with all the couples paired off.
