Agios Minas Monastery – A Sanctuary of Peace in Larnaca’s Hills
Nestled in the hills near the villages of Vavla and Kato Drys, the Agios Minas Convent is a serene sanctuary dating back to the 15th century. Surrounded by olive and citrus groves, this peaceful monastery has a long history of devotion, decline, and revival, offering visitors a glimpse into Cyprus’s spiritual heritage.
The convent’s architecture combines Byzantine and Gothic styles, with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a central church adorned with 18th-century frescoes of Saint George and Saint Minas. Today, the nuns maintain traditions of icon painting and produce handmade preserves and herbal goods, which reflect the blend of faith and local culture.
For travelers in the Lefkara region, Agios Minas is more than a religious site — it is a place of reflection and calm. Modest dress is required, but those who visit are rewarded with tranquil courtyards, centuries-old art, and the warm hospitality of the sisterhood.
