Starting from Lefkosia (Nicosia), you reach Pyrga to visit the royal Latin chapel with Byzantine frescoes and you move on to Stavrovouni to visit the monastery of Timios Stavros where a piece of the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified is kept. Then, you pass Lemesos (Limassol) and Kourion to reach Timi where you will visit a small church which was converted into a mosque under Turkish rule.
