A trip into the mountains
The summits of the Troodos mountains in the distance
The village of Foini
Kykko Monastery (in full, the Holy Royal and Stavropiyiaki Monastery of the
Virgin Mary) in the Troodos mountains
The bells up on the hillside
Some of the brightly coloured mosaics on the walls of the monastery
Tradition has it that Byzantine Emperor Alexios Comnenos I (1081-1118) was
prompted to establish the monastery in 1100 after the hermit Isaiah, who lived
in the Troodos mountains, revealed that his daughter could be healed from a rare
incurable disease if he would consent to build a monastery and donate to it the
icon of the Virgin he possessed, reputedly painted by the Apostle Luke
A familiar title on sale by the monastery.

At the beginning of As You Like It, the dancers perform for the
lawful duke, as the last rays of the sun disappear from the tops of the hills
towards Limassol.
The happy ending, with all the couples paired off.
