The Monastery of Agios Neophytos


What a beautiful place! After a long day of seeing ancient city sites, I have to admit, the crisp breeze wafting up from the coast with the smell of pine was a nice way to finish the adventure. Originally a cave (shown below), this hermitage houses some of the most beautiful frescoes I have seen (and sadly was not permitted to take pictures). If you happen to be in the Paphos/Polis area make sure to stop by this quiet place.
