Timios Stavros (Holy Cross) Monastery stands on the main square of Omodos, a wine village on the southern slopes of Troodos, about 7 km southwest of Platres.

Tradition links its founding to Saint Helena and a piece of the Holy Cross. The present buildings are mostly from the early 19th century, with a carved wooden iconostasis and a small museum. It opens daily.
