In the village, there is the monastery of the Holy Cross. According to tradition, residents of neighbouring areas often lit a fire in the area where the monastery is built. One day they started digging and discovered a cross inside a small cave. To please God, they built the chapel of the Holy Cross over the cave, which became a monastery over time. The period of the arrival of Saint Eleni in Cyprus in 327 BC chronologically defines the creation of the Monastery. In the Monastery she left the "Holy Rope – Agio Kannavo", the only one surviving in the world. This monastery gained great fame and became a place of worship for the faithful.
