Tala Monastery From Above

Post by Dominic »

The Holy Monastery of Saint Neophytos the Recluse lies at the top end of Tala, nestled in a narrow valley. Built in the 12th century, it is now one of the most famous monasteries in Cyprus. Owing to its somewhat secluded nature it is difficult to get a decent look at the whole building, so we sent our drone up to get the clearest view.

Hi Dominic,
Thanks for an interesting drone flight video. I have never seen this Monastery from the air before. It is larger than I realised. You can walk through it, as there is a raised roadway which leads from the car park. But a half open wrought iron gate stops vehicles using it. The Monastery Church is lovely and interesting. There is also a small museum.
There is also an old track which connects it with Kamares.
