Panagia is a mountainous picturesque village in Cyprus, located at an altitude of 900m in the Paphos mountain range, at the outskirts of Paphos forest and just 35 minutes from Paphos International Airport. Archbishop Makarios III, the first president of the Republic of Cyprus, was born in Panagia.
Panagia owes its name to the many churches and monasteries, which are in the village or close to it and which are dedicated to our Blessed Virgin Mary. In the centre of the village there is the ancient church of Panagia Eleousa. One mile east of the village is the chapel of Panagia of Sarkas. Half a mile beyond that was another chapel of Panagia of Karyon. One and a half miles southwest of the village is the famous and picturesque monastery of Panagia Chrysorroyiatissa. Fifteen miles east of the village, through the dense forest of Paphos, is the historic and famous Byzantine Monastery of Panagia of Kykkos. So the village of Panagia village is among five churches dedicated to Saint Mary, from which the village took the name. Many times we can find it by the name "Pano Panagia", as it’s one of the tallest areas of the Paphos district.
Thank you so much for watching
