Throni Shrine, located near Kykkos Monastery in Cyprus, is a significant pilgrimage site featuring the tomb of Archbishop Makarios III and offers breathtaking panoramic views. It is generally accessible by car, though some walking on potentially uneven terrain is required to reach the shrine itself, which may present challenges for those with mobility issues. Visitors can explore independently or as part of a guided tour, often combined with a visit to the nearby Kykkos Monastery. The shrine is typically open year-round, with spring and autumn offering the most pleasant weather, while summer can be very hot and winter occasionally chilly. There is no entrance fee for the shrine itself, making the primary cost transportation, and a typical visit duration for the shrine area is 30 minutes to an hour, though it's best experienced as part of a half or full-day excursion to the region including Kykkos Monastery.
