About Machairas Monastery
Machairas Monastery rises at 900 metres in the Machairas Forest, founded at the end of the 12th century after two hermits found an icon of the Virgin Mary hidden in a cave, its blade-cut path into the thicket giving the site its name. Emperor Manuel I Komnenos funded the community in 1172. A fire gutted the buildings in 1892; a Russian-funded rebuild followed. Inside, a museum honours Grigoris Afxentiou, the EOKA leader killed nearby in 1957.
