Historic 4th-century convent on the Akrotiri Peninsula famous as a sanctuary for dozens of resident cats.
Founded in the 4th century by Saint Helena, this tranquil monastery is steeped in the legend of hundreds of cats brought to Cape Gata ('Cape of the Cats') to rid the peninsula of venomous snakes during a long drought.
Today the peaceful courtyard gardens are home to dozens of affectionate cats cared for by the resident nuns.
Located on the Akrotiri Peninsula southwest of Limassol, just past the Akrotiri Salt Lake.
