In the deep, green Setrachos valley, at an altitude of 710 m, Kalopanagiotis boasts several churches and, above all, the Agios Ioannis Lampadistis monastery, which is one of the ten painted churches on the Troodos listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located high up, it can be reached by a cogwheel elevator (8 a.m.-7 p.m.-12 p.m., €1) which climbs a mere 54 m, but saves 15 minutes on foot. The village owes its name to its medieval founder, a certain Panagiotis, described as "good" (kalo). This first name is the masculine version of the name Panagia ("All-Holy"), given to the Virgin Mary. Renowned for its healing springs, in ancient times the site was home to a sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. Public thermal baths were in operation until the 1960s. Today, Kalopanagiotis has turned to agritourism, with a number of restaurants, attractive guest houses and the Casale Panayiotis hotel, which operates the Myrianthousa thermal center.
