Stop 2
In the picturesque village of Axylou, near Paphos, the Axylou Halloumi Factory carries forward one of Cyprus’ oldest culinary traditions. For generations, Cypriot families have produced halloumi, a cheese made from goat’s and sheep’s milk, prized for its unique texture and ability to be grilled or fried without melting. At Axylou, this heritage is preserved through a family-run dairy that combines traditional recipes with modern standards, ensuring authentic flavor and quality. Visitors are welcomed to learn the story of halloumi, its cultural importance in Cypriot life, and how it has been passed down through centuries. The highlight is the tasting: warm, freshly prepared halloumi served with local bread and herbs. Simple, rustic, and delicious, it offers guests a genuine taste of Cyprus and a connection to the island’s rural traditions.

Founded in 1152 by the monk Ignatios, it is dedicated to Our Lady of the Golden Pomegranate and safeguards a revered icon of the Virgin Mary, said to have been painted by Saint Luke. The monastery’s stone buildings, peaceful courtyards, and panoramic views create a setting of beauty and calm. Over the centuries, it has preserved precious icons, manuscripts, and artworks, standing as a symbol of resilience and faith during turbulent times. Today, Chrysorrogiatissa remains an active monastery where traditions of prayer and devotion continue.
