Leave Limassol and drive to Salamiou, a charming village, nestled on a ridge between two valleys.

After this welcome repast, head for the Diarizos Valley for a nature walk. The Diarizos Valley is a visual delight with medieval churches, farming villages and arched Venetian bridges dotting the landscape.

Arrive at and visit the Kykkos Monastery. Dedicated to Virgin Mary, this 11th century monastery has some exquisite mosaics and frescoes. A huge pierced monolith in its courtyard is said to have mystical powers. According to local folklore, a woman who passes through the hole is blessed with a child.
