Hidden among the pine-covered slopes of the Troodos Mountains, Trooditissa Monastery is one of Cyprus’s most peaceful and spiritually powerful destinations. Located near the village of Platres, at an altitude of about 1,300 meters, the monastery offers not only stunning mountain views and cool air, but also a deep spiritual presence that has drawn pilgrims for centuries. Founded in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 18th, Trooditissa is renowned for its beautiful stone architecture and the atmosphere of silent prayer. The monastery is home to a revered icon of the Virgin Mary and its most treasured relic — the Belt of the Theotokos, which has been the source of countless miracles. This sacred belt is known for helping couples who suffer from infertility. Its miraculous power is confirmed by numerous photos of newborn babies, sent by grateful families who conceived after praying at the monastery. These heartfelt tokens of gratitude are carefully kept within the monastery and may be shown by the monks upon request — a quiet yet powerful testimony to the belt’s divine grace. Trooditissa is closed to the general public on most days, preserving its monastic stillness. But whether you visit on a religious holiday or simply view it from outside, the monastery’s presence radiates peace and faith. It is a place where divine grace, nature, and tradition meet — and miracles continue to unfold.

Hidden within the rugged terrain of the Akamas Peninsula, the Avakas Gorge Nature Trail is one of Cyprus’s most spectacular natural wonders. Carved over centuries by the flowing waters of the Avgas River, this dramatic limestone canyon stretches for about 3 kilometers, with walls rising up to 30 meters high. The trail begins near the village of Agios Georgios Peyias and winds through towering cliffs, lush vegetation, and shaded paths, offering hikers a unique and refreshing escape into the island’s wilder side. As you venture deeper into the gorge, the landscape shifts from sunlit trails to narrow passages where the canyon walls nearly touch. Ferns, wild fig trees, oleanders, and endemic plants line the route, creating a rich microclimate that supports diverse wildlife. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the elusive Cyprus mouflon or spot Bonelli’s eagles circling above. Spring is especially magical, when the trail bursts into bloom with colorful wildflowers and the stream trickles gently along the path. Avakas Gorge is considered moderately challenging, making it suitable for adventurous hikers with good footwear and some experience. Its raw beauty and geological formations make it a photographer’s dream. Whether you're drawn by the call of nature, the thrill of exploration, or the peaceful ambiance of the gorge, a hike through Avakas is a journey into the untamed heart of Cyprus — one that rewards every step with awe-inspiring scenery.
