Ayios Elias Church
Along the main road out of Protaras, you will see signs for Ayios Elias, a beautiful, small church set on the top of a hill. There are about 100 steps to climb in order to reach the top, but the panoramic views from the top are well worth the climb. At the top of the hill you will find the 'Tree of Remembrance', on which people tie a piece of cloth on a branch to remember somebody special. Ayios Elias is a small, local, Orthodox Church and if you visit early afternoon you may be lucky enough to experience the amazing sunset from the hilltop. |
