Practical Guides · Villages, Culture & Faith
Where can Orthodox visitors attend liturgy and go on pilgrimage?
The great pilgrimage sites are Kykkos (the richest monastery, with an icon attributed to St Luke and Makarios’s tomb nearby), Machairas and Stavrovouni (a relic of the True Cross). There is a Russian church of St Nicholas in Limassol and a Romanian Orthodox community in Nicosia — a natural route for our Russian, Romanian and Greek audiences.
