Panagia Asinou Church

Reviewed By yiannava - Nicosia, Cyprus

The church is located in the woods and the drive to the church is really scenic. It has amazing frescoes very well preserved. A book is on sale which offers full details. No audio guide. There is no artificial light inorder to preserve the frescoes. Wear comfortable shoes as the path to the church is cobblestone but access is not difficult. Can combine the visit here with lunch to one of the restaurants in the vicinity.

Reviewed By Brianngog - Avgorou, Cyprus

If you are in Paralimni and near the Square, then you cannot fail to see the Agios Georgious Church. Beautifully designed and built and exceptionally well maintained. A true piece of Old Cyprus in amongst the Modern. Well worth a few minutes of your time to stop and admire. You will be glad you did.

Timios Stavros Monastery

Reviewed By debdancing - Littlehampton, United Kingdom

This beautiful Monastery, which serves as a working Church, sits right in the heart of Omodos. I was surprised that much of it dates from the 19th Century - I thought it was a much older building, although some parts date back to the 14th Century. It was very busy when I visited but it was still peaceful and dignified. Features include gold-plated iconostatis, frescoes, a beautiful basilica and relics that include a section of rope said to have bound Christ to the cross. Shoulders must be covered when entering the Monastery and photography is not allowed.
