Moniatis (, ) is a village in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 5 km southeast of Pano Platres. Moniatis was historically a mixed village of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. The origin of the name is possibly due to the monasteries around it, "mones".
== History == During the Kingdom of Cyprus, the chronicler Florio Bustron writes that King James II after 1464 granted Moniatis as a fief to Juan Perez Fabriges, together with other villages, among them Knodara, Kouka, Agios Andronikos of Akaki, Malia, Karpasso, Anglisides and Selino.
