Apostolos Andreas Monastery stands by the sea near the eastern tip of the Karpaz peninsula, about 20 km north-east of Dipkarpaz (Rizokarpaso). It is dedicated to Saint Andrew and has long been a place of pilgrimage for people from across Cyprus.

The main church dates from the 19th century, with an older chapel lower down by the shore. Dress modestly when visiting the church.
