Stunning tribute and burial place of the first President of Cyprus
Monument to The First President of Cyprus Archbishop Makarios III的点评
点评:A short trip from the Kykkos monastery, is this stunning tribute and tomb of the first president of Cyprus.
You arrive and see a huge statue of Archbishop Makarios and then walk the path to the stunning chapel, almost pilgrim like feel to it. The walkway is lined with gorgeous mosaic style portraits which glisten is the sun.
Once at the top you can see for miles (if a clear day) and a separate path takes you to the armed soliders guarding the tomb.
It is a short visit (about an hour tops), but the walk could be a little challenging if you unsteady on your feet. There is a buggy that can take you to the top, although unsure if it costs anything.
A must do if visiting the Kykkos Monastery!

到达后,您会看到马卡里奥斯大主教的巨大雕像,然后沿着小路走到令人惊叹的小教堂,感觉就像朝圣者一样。人行道两旁是华丽的马赛克风格肖像,在阳光下闪闪发光。
一旦到达山顶,您就可以看到数英里远(如果是晴天),一条单独的小路将带您到达守卫坟墓的武装士兵。
这是一次短暂的访问(最多一个小时),但如果您脚步不稳,步行可能会有点困难。有一辆小车可以带您到山顶,但不确定是否需要付费。
如果参观基科斯修道院,这是必做之事!
