Vanuit de tuin van Villa Mazotos Hills 1 heeft u uitzicht op het Stavrovouni klooster. Dit klooster ligt op 700 meter hoogte en geeft een prachtig uitzicht over Larnaca en de middellandse zee.

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.

Built in 327 AD by St Helen mother of the Emperor Constantine the monastery is perched high on a mountain overlooking Larnaka. Regulations strictly forbid women entering the monastery.
