  • Are these details incorrect?
  • A secret mountain cave and a miraculous icon of the Virgin are Trooditissa’s main claims to fame. High above Platres on the Troodos mountain slopes, it was founded during the 13th century beneath a grotto where hermits, according to local legend, guarded the holy icon for many years. The cave can be visited by all, but the monastery and its wondrous icon may be seen only by Orthodox pilgrims who journey here in their droves.
