They have nearly finished restoring the paintings (frescos) on the walls and ceilings and have done a lovely job. Well worth the short trip.

From the outside it looks like an old barn, but inside you walk into a (literal) treasure trove, as the whole of the interior is covered with ancient frescoes (some a millenium old). The effect is spellbinding, and it is worth travelling many miles to see (I hired a taxi for the day, as am not a driver, and just had to see some of the painted churches of the Troodhos). If you are a Christian (or struggling with your faith, like me) the church has an extra, blessed dimension, and you won't forget it.

This is a very special and unique church for those who enjoy this kind of site. In addition, it is located in a picturesque forest worth visiting as well. The nearby renovated traditional village is also worth visiting.

This world heritage site has to be seen to be believed and wondered. Yes, it's a slog to get there and yes, it's small BUT the paintings inside are breathtakingly beautiful and show one man's love for his sick daughter. It was to me, a Christian, very moving. Whilst I realise it will not mean as much to people of other faiths, the paintings alone are to be marvelled and admired.

We took the children for a day trip from Nicosia. The church was not so difficult to find. It s small but lovely. With wall paintings dating back many centuries. The fact that it is a UNESCO world heritage site, speaks for itself. The surrounding area is very green and quiet. After visiting the church we took a short walk and then had lunch at the restaurant just opposite the church. Tasted some traditional Cypriot dishes and then headed back to Nicosia. If you want to spend a relaxing day visiting a cultural/ religious monument in the countryside, and if you want to have a trip in a quiet green area and maybe a walk in the woods, worth visiting. If you want more activity, to see lots of people and don t like driving, or road trips, you will not enjoy this trip.

If you do not have the opportunity to visit the churches in the mountain of Troodos, Panagia Asinou Church is a very characteristic example, it is close to Nicosia and you will surely enjoy the visit.

Small and charming is this unique UNESCO World Heritage protected church. The mosaics do tell the history and after a bit of a drive you reach the church in a very scenic location. Definitely a place to go, especially when you have visitors who would like to experience Cyprus history, religion and tradition.

Well worth a visit just to see the beautiful countryside around the church. The church itself, is known for its ancient wall paintings( Frescoes) and is one of the oldest churches in Cyprus
