Description
The village of Monagri can be found 20 Kms north-west of Limassol between the Limassol to Platres road and the Kouris River. The name of the village comes from the word "moni", which means monastery, and the word "agrin" which means a small valley. The village was created as a small monastery area with farms belonging to the monastery since Byzantine times.
During the Franks occupation, it appeared on maps as Monag or Monagri. There are also mentioned may medieval families to which the village might have belonged, such as George the Bistronious, Alex Kappadoki and Balian Salaha.
