Our 2 euro entrance fee also included the on site museum. There were lots of portraits of Neophytos, religious paraphernalia, old maps that included Cyprus, earthenware jugs and much more. Not all the items had English descriptions. Those that did had very small font and were located low down for the four foot crowd.
These are from more modern times where ostentatious displays by the clergy were accepted

We stopped on the top of the ridge at a little turn off that doubles as a "cat park"

We kind of like it too
