Panagia Galaktotrofousa Monastery (Greek: Ιερά Μονή Παναγίας Γαλακτοτροφούσας) is a small Christian Orthodox monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary and located near Kofinou, Cyprus.[1]
In 2012, there were only three monks living in the monastery. The monastery consists of dormitories, a church in the courtyard, and some furnished rooms used as an exhibition space. One of the rooms shows the history of the monastery, and another room includes a showcase cabinet with the ossicles of the founder of the monastery. The monks make a living by producing and selling olive oil.
