Apostolos Andreas Monastery, Greek Orthodox monastery on Cape Apostolos Andreas, Famagusta District, Cyprus
The monastery complex includes a main church from the 18th century and additional buildings near a natural spring on the northeastern coast.
The monastery's origins trace to when Apostle Andrew's ship struck rocks, leading him to create a freshwater spring that healed a blind captain.
The religious site holds significance for both Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots who gather there for spiritual purposes and prayer offerings.
A restoration project funded by multiple organizations, including USAID and the Church of Cyprus, aims to preserve the monastery's structure.
The natural spring, which according to local accounts emerged when Saint Andrew struck the ground, continues to flow at the monastery location.
