Itinerario
Situado en el pueblo de Meniko, la Iglesia de Cipriano y Justina está dedicada a las Santas Ciprianas y Justina, veneradas por sus poderes milagrosos contra la brujería y los espíritus malignos. Esta iglesia, que data del período medieval, atrae a los peregrinos que buscan protección y curación. La atmósfera serena en su interior, junto con el impresionante iconostasio, lo convierte en un lugar de profunda devoción. Los visitantes a menudo dejan oraciones o muestras de gratitud, reforzando el significado de la iglesia como un centro de fe y milagros.
Segunda parada: Iglesia de la Virgen María Assinou. Llegamos a la Iglesia de la Virgen María Assinou, Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Esta iglesia del siglo XII es famosa por sus vibrantes frescos bizantinos, entre los mejores de Chipre. Los murales bien conservados representan escenas de la Biblia, ofreciendo una narración visual de las enseñanzas cristianas. La elegancia arquitectónica de la iglesia, combinada con sus tesoros artísticos, la convierte en un destino de visita obligada tanto para historiadores como para buscadores espirituales.
Encaramada en una colina cerca de Kakopetria, esta iglesia es famosa por su empinado techo de madera, una característica distintiva diseñada para protegerla de las fuertes nevadas. El Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (San Nicolás del Tejado), que data del siglo XI, está adornado con algunos de los frescos bizantinos mejor conservados de Chipre, que abarcan varios siglos. Las vívidas representaciones de Cristo, santos y ángeles ofrecen un viaje artístico y teológico a través de la historia bizantina.
Otra iglesia declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, esta iglesia del siglo XV en Pedoulas es famosa por su excepcional fresco del Arcángel Miguel, representado en colores vivos con una presencia sorprendente. La arquitectura de la iglesia es simple, pero el interior está ricamente decorado con pinturas detalladas que reflejan el patrimonio artístico bizantino tardío de la isla. Pedoulas en sí es un pueblo encantador, perfecto para un paseo relajante y probar dulces tradicionales chipriotas.
Esta pequeña pero significativa capilla, dedicada a la Virgen María, es una de las primeras iglesias pintadas en Chipre, que data de 1280. Situado en el pintoresco pueblo de Moutoullas, la iglesia cuenta con un techo de madera inclinado y frescos bien conservados que reflejan la influencia de los estilos bizantino y localchipriota. Aunque de tamaño modesto, el valor artístico de la iglesia la convierte en un sitio de visita obligada para aquellos interesados en el arte y la historia bizantina.
Parada final: Monasterio de San Juan Lampadistes. Concluyendo nuestro recorrido, llegamos al Monasterio de San Juan Lampadistes en Kalopanagiotis. Este monasterio, declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, es un complejo de iglesias interconectadas con capas de frescos que datan de los siglos XI al XV. El monasterio está dedicado a San Juan Lampadistes, un venerado santo local conocido por sus milagros. El entorno tranquilo, combinado con el rico patrimonio histórico y artístico, hace de este un final adecuado para nuestro viaje.

Amazing ! The landscapes are very beautiful, the view in the mountains is so nice. And the churches were amazing indeed
The landscapes were amazing and the churches were very well preserved. Our guide was very interested and informed about the churches and monasteries and also about the culture. She taught us a lot about the habits of the local people and the history of Cyprus through the churches. I would recommend this tour.
great experience with very beautiful landscapes, very good discoveries!
I booked the tour and I got an email "pick up and location &time: Leonardo boutique hotel 9:05". I was there, waiting. At half past ten I phoned them and they said, that the tour was cancelled. I was furious—I had planned this trip for that day. For a normal company, that's unacceptable behavior.
Dear Franziska, Thank you for your feedback, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. Unfortunately, this booking was a single reservation that was missed by our system, which led to the tour not being confirmed properly on our side. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for the pickup and only find out later that the tour was not operating. As soon as we spoke with you, we wanted to make sure your day was not completely lost, so we offered you a complimentary cruise experience, which you kindly accepted, and we were happy that you were able to enjoy an alternative activity. We are proffesional tour operator and situations like this are very rare for us. We are reviewing our system procedures to ensure this does not happen again. Kind regards, Adventures CY Team
This was my second experience in the Troodos mountains, which I missed first time in Cyprus. In winter such excursions are not daily. Also in this one we saw a Christmas village at the end, which were the topic of the first one. 5 UNESCO churches out of the 9+1 were to be seen, but one was closed because of the Epiphanie. However, the first church was Saint Ciprian, who was from Cyprus. The time was tight and the excursion was rather 9 1/2 hours, so exactly suitable in winter, even if one of the churches was closed. Some of the churches are outside the villages and there are great mountain perspectives. Constantin and Elena are always depicted. The last church (Saint John) is a functioning monastery with a shop.
Very interesting thanks to the very good guide/driver. Irina. She told us a lot of things about the churches, but also about Cyprus. Really interesting things. No funny jokes. We were in a small group (3 persons + Irina) in a very comfortable car.
I highly recommend this excursion, alone it is worth the whole trip and for myself I think it is the most beautiful excursion to do in Cyprus. Our guide Catherine was an exceptional guide explaining every aspect that concerned both the beautiful Churches and Monasteries, both pointing out details of the environment around us (such as flowers, plants, animals...), and explaining historical anecdotes and not to better understand life in Cyprus. We could not ask for better, I think you can not visit Cyprus and skip this experience. Thanks for everything.
Very great and interesting tour, super nice guide. It would have been great if she had water with her, as it was on all the other tours we did there.
Great day out with Irina as a guide. Nice comfortable vehicle and full day out. I thought it was a fantastic value. We saw beautifully spiritual old monasteries and churches with amazing paintings inside. We drove through the country and mountainside. Irina was highly knowledgeable and very interesting and I left the trip feeling like if there was just one trip to take in Cyprus this would be the one to take!
