Agapinor Lodge was consecrated on 1 st December 1970 by R.W.Bro.Sir James Stubbs, KCVO, OSM and other<br />

distinguished Officers from the United Grand Lodge of England.<br />

The build up of expatriates in the Paphos area and the problems of travelling to attend either St. Paul’s Lodge or<br />

Apollo Lodge in the Lirnassol area created the demand for a new Lodge in the Western part of the Island. It took<br />

its name ‘Agapinor’from one of the Kings of Paphos. This being the seventh Lodge to be established in Cyprus,<br />

the way was open for a District to be formed...<br />

Agapinor Lodge shared premises in Paphos with Kinyras Lodge No.64, under the Grand Lodge of Greece, until<br />

1996 when it decided to move to the Venus Beach Hotel. A complete set of Lodge furnishings was<br />

manufactured locally and is stored in the Hotel. The move to a hotel has proven to be a convenient and<br />

successful solution from all points of view.
