Last autumn we we doing a bit of Off-Roading at the top end of the Diarizos Valley. On our way back to civilisation we spotted an unusual building across the valley, so stopped to take a look. We found ourselves at a modern monastery with a lovely garden.

Re: Panagia Salamiotissa Monastery
Love this place - we walk from my husband’s family home in Salamiou on every special occasion. It’s a nunnery run by lovely ladies. There’s a large stone with a hole in it in the garden and all of my family have climbed through it over the years. Me too up until a few years ago when I got too big to pass! It’s quite a challenge. Hubby can still go through it though!
