It's not at Kykkos ... they are discussing taking it there.

If I was in charge, I'd build one a thousand times bigger that people could also go inside like the Statue of Liberty and put it somewhere overlooking the 'TRNC'. In one hand he'd have his sceptre and with the other he'd be making a nice hand gesture. In fact, make it big enough to be seen from Turkey too.

Absolutely, but not so much 'glow in the dark' as be illuminated by enough lights to keep everyone thinking it was permanent daytime. Oh and he'd have the loudest stereo system in the world built into him and play fantastic tunes to entertain all the visitors and anyone within a thousand mile radius! Don't even get me started on the merchandising!

Not only would he be a magnificent symbol of Cypriot-ness, he'd help out the tourist industry too. I'm talking a modern wonder of the world here. :D

Why not have his head made to rotate and convert into a revolving restaraunt? You could call it the "Bishops Bistro" or something............

That would be a bit creepy... Maybe a bit at the top of his sceptre could revolve instead. :D
