Tips from locals
UNESCO Heritage Monument, the Church is covered in wall paintings dating back to the 11th Century
The church is in Kakopetria, a village on the Troodos mountain range. Unique paintings inside. Holding the only fresco in the world where you can see Mary breastfeeding Jesus and the pagan symbols of the Sun and Moon simultaneously in the crucifixion scene. Ask for a guided tour.

Start a 9km trail hike through beautiful forest along the Karkotis River, passing a chrome mine. Stop at this twelfth-century church to view exquisite frescos noted as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
