About Kykkos Monastery
Kykkos Monastery sits at 1,318 metres on the Troodos range's northwest slope, founded under Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos in the late 11th century. Its treasured icon of the Virgin, attributed to St Luke, is kept covered: tradition holds that looking at it directly causes blindness. The current church dates to 1745 after repeated fires. Archbishop Makarios III, Cyprus's first president, began his monastic life here in 1926 and is buried nearby at Throni.
