Best Vacation Spots In Cyprus For Summer

CHURCHES AND MONASTERIES

As the Byzantine churches have unique icons and frescoes they are locked. If you wish to visit any of these churches we recommend you to ask at the kafeneion (coffee shop) of the village for the priest or any other responsible person who could open the church for you. While visiting the churches and monasteries you should avoid to wear shorts or short dresses.

Most of the Monasteries have visiting hours usually from 09:30 or 10:0016:00 hrs from Nov.-May and 10:00-18:00 from June-October. Some of them are closed during lunch time.

Normally village medieval churches and other village monuments are closed.

The community priest or some other person can provide the visitor with the key or can open the door for him free of charge. If you conduct a visit on your own, without the services of a guide, be sure you ask for the key at the village central square or the kafeneion (cafe).
