The Monastery of Apostle Andreas is situated on a rocky beach in the easternmost point of the Karpas peninsula. It was built in 1867 with the initiative of priest Ioannes and inaugurated by Archbishop Sophronios I. The monastery was built in the spot where, during his first missionary journey, Apostle Andreas needed to disembark his ship and miraculously exposed a natural water source.

During restoration works realized in a private house in Nicosia, archaeological remains have been discovered in the basement of the building. The archaeological excavation, conducted by the Department of Antiquities of Cyprus, unveiled two rooms featuring walls foundations, niches and pits. The house insists in an area where a monastery was presumably built.
