Cyprus is one of those places (like so many) that once you've been there, you will want to return! Yes, go for a relaxing holiday, but return again and explore the places you missed before, like the magnificent coastline. Cyprus isn't just sandy beaches, and you don't have to go far to find nice, quiet places, not really that far out of the way. The picture is of the coast somewhere near Paphos
I've just found this photo of Stavrovouni Monastery, near Larnaca. This famous monastery owes its inception of St. Helena, who when she was in Jerusalem found not only the True Cross, but also the crosses of the two thieves. She unnailed these crosses and joined the long piece of the cross of the good thief with the short piece of the bad thief and thus made one cross; and she did likewise with the upright and foot rest of the bad and good thief, which remained. The monastery is mentioned by nearly all the mediaeval travellers, the earliest being Abbot Daniel of Russia, who visited the Island in 1106.
