Ancient Monument of the Holy Cross, Kallepeia

Ancient Monument of the Holy Cross
And this is about all the information we have been able to find on the ruins.

In truth, there isn't a lot to see here, in terms of ancient history.
Tiny Chapel
There is but a single room here.
Small Shrine
Naturally though, people do still come up here to light a candle and say a prayer. However, I think more people visit for the astounding views.
Astounding Views
Are there any foundations here? Anything to suggest that the monastery will have once been more than just a single room?
Incidentally, I looked on the old Victorian map of the area. The chapel is marked on that, and it doesn't say "rn" next to it, which it normally does if there are ruins. So perhaps it was still in use some 120 years ago?

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
