Fields with haystacks are a familiar site in Cyprus in late spring. But the real star of this painting, followed closely by that round bale in the foreground, is the mountain of Stavrovouni in the far distance. Right at the pinnacle of the mountain you will find the Greek Orthodox Monastery of Stavrovouni. Founded by Saint Helena in around 327-329 AD it is regarded as one of the oldest monastery in the world. The views from this mountain top are spectacular and well worth an inland short trip of about 45 minutes by car. Considering the monastery was founded by a woman, it is peculiar to note that only men are allowed to enter the actual monastery. There is an external gift shop, and dressed respectfully, the shop is accessible to either, men and women. With the right weather the views from outside the monastery are breath taking, allowing an almost circular view over the North, East and South of Cyprus.

Stunning views are afforded by this monastery founded by the Emperor Constantine's mother, Helena, in the fourth century. Resident monks are renowned for their icon painting.
