Oprindeligt et kloster, denne UNESCO World Heritage Site er et kompleks af tre kirker - Ioannis Lampadistis, Agios Irakleidios og en latinsk kapel - alle under et enkelt, enormt trætag. Beliggende i Troodos dalen af Marathasa ( lige uden for landsbyen Kalopanagiotis), den nøjagtige dato for klosterets grundlæggelse er ikke kendt, og bygningskomplekset, der overlever i dag har gennemgået omfattende genopbygning og restaurering i forskellige perioder. Kirken af Agios Ioannis Lampadistis blev bygget i 1731. Helligdommens grav, som dateres tilbage til det 12. århundrede, kan findes under den smalle nordøstlige bue, og helligdommens kranium ligger i en niche. Ikonen af Lampadistis er dateret til 1543. Et meget interessant byzantinsk museum kan findes i nærheden af kirken.
Beliggende i den bjergrige region Marathasa Valley, er Klosteret Kykkos det rigeste og mest overdådige på øen, og det står på en bjergtop i en højde af 1.318 meter.
Den maleriske landsby ligner et amfiteater, hvor den nederste del af landsbyen har en højde og den øverste del har en anden, og adskiller den således i Pano (øvre) og Kato (nedre) Platres.
Klosteret, som er dedikeret til Jomfru Maria, skiller sig ud for omgivelsernes naturlige skønhed og er bygget på en bjergtop, mellem Platres og landsbyen Prodromos, midt i fyrreskoven Troodos, hvorfra dets navn stammer.

I had an amazing time with my driver Neofytos! Very interesting and informative! He had a lot of incite into everything about Cyprus and its history. The tour was also tailored to my needs. Highly recommend!
Had a great time on this excursion! My driver Maria was very knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and was able to incorporate extra things into the experience based upon my interests. Would totally recommend this company AND driver to others!
Our family of four had a lovely day, full of experiences and beautiful sites. While Fitos, our tour guide, took us to numerous monasteries, he explained us about the history and culture of Cyprus, including his childhood when his family had to flee from their home located in the northern region of the island. We enjoyed the beautiful nature during driving on exciting serpentines in the mountains, and we stopped at some places, either to have a great Cyprus coffee, a tasty local lunch or to have a look at a traditional village. At the end of the day we arrived back full of great experiences.
Our cruise ship stopped in Limassol for a very limited time. We (2 couples) wanted to get out into the mountains and see the monasteries and enjoy the countryside. Marius was a great driver and tour guide, and we had a very comfortable van. He met us right as we exited the ship, and took us all over the mountains to Kykkos monastery, Trooditissa monastery, and to Omodos village. The scenery was stunning. On the way back to the ship, he took us to the Kolossi castle, which in the early 1300s was under the control of the Knights Templar. Marius was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He even bought us some thick, rich Cyprus coffee. I believe we had the best tour of Cyprus of anyone on the ship. Finally and importantly, Marius got us back to the ship right on time. I highly recommend this tour with iTaxi for your cruise ship stop in Cyprus! Note to iTaxi: we toured on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Please thank Marius for us again. He was super!
Our itinerary had to be adjusted due to weather, but it still ended up being a perfect day. Fitos taught us a ton about the island's history and culture and we loved the atmosphere in the mountains. I would go out of my way to book with this company again when I return to Cyprus.
Our one day private trip was fabulous! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Cyprus and also gave us an authentic experience of Cyprus food and culture. I do plan to go back to Cyprus for another visit and plan to use their services.
