Historic Monastery In Cyprus Today A Spa Resort


The Monastery of the Holy Unmercenaries (Agioi Anargyri) in Miliou of Paphos is a historic monastery. It was established in 1649 by St. Panaretos who was then Metropolitan of Paphos. It played an important role in the region in the few centuries of its existence. Even throughout the 1980's it operated as a female convent. By 2009 the Monastery was purchased and converted into a spa resort, apparently by permission of the local bishop.
