Overview
Agros is located on the slopes of Troodos. The Community of Agros is located at an altitude of 1000 metres and belongs to the geographical region of South Pitsilia of the Limassol District. The village of Agros took its name from the monastery of Megalos Agros, which was built on the site of the present Church of Panagia Agros. According to tradition, 40 monks from Cyzicus in Asia Minor, during the iconoclasm, abandoned the monastery of Megalos Agros and came to Cyprus, bringing with them, the icon of Virgin Mary. They ended up in the area where Agros is today, stayed for a while in a cave and then built a new Monastery and named it after the original, that is , the Monastery of the Megalos Agros.
