In my view this is the best of the ten painted churches on the Troodos mountains in Cyprus. Reading one of the reviews, complaining about the opening hours, one should read the official web site about all the painted churches - they’re closed between 1 and 2. So very easy to visit if one bothers to find out something about them first.

Very well restored and particularly impressive barn roof church. It's definitely worth a visit! Parking and toilets available. The man there didn't charge an entrance fee but did charge a small fee...oh well, it was still beautiful.

The famous Byzantine church of Asinou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has some of the finest examples of Byzantine wall painting on the island. No matter how many times I visit this specific church, I always want to return if in the round area. The church dates to the early 12th century and the murals inside date from the 12th century to the 17th century. Visitors should ask for the priest of Nikitari village to escort them otherwise might find it closed.

The Church is an important landmark to view byzantine wall paintings. A true WORLD HERITAGE SITE. Best to visit in uncrowded days so that one can absorb and feel the atmosphere of the place.

We went there and got lucky because a group of tourist had pick up the guardian of the church at the next-door village. If not, we wouldn't had been able to visit the interior of the church. This is a beautiful church at the beginning of Troodos mountains' region, approximately an hour-drive from Nicosia. The church is beautiful, the area as well. We can only but recommend this place at any amateur of church patrimony.

Wery small and intimate church that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It contains some of the finest Byzantine wall paintings on the island, dating from the 12th to the 17th century. They are strikingly beautiful frescoes worth seeing. And the Troodos mountains are also beautiful background scenery.
