Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very pretty sunset. A bit of a climb to the top but worth it and doesn’t take long, a good way to spend some time before your evening meal and definitely a must if in the area.

A very beautiful church with an amazing view! The climb starts in a nice little park and is somewhat steep, but fairly easy, with good handrails all the way.

A highly spiritual experience. It is a bit of a climb, but has wheelchair access. The portraits incredible, and the views across the area are great for meditation.

After a very hot walk to the top (take a bottle of water)
The view was amazing. Lovely church inside
Would recommend just for the view alone

A beautiful Chapel overlooking the resort, a bit of a trek up there by a meandering stepped path but the views are stunning and the paintings inside make it worthwhile! There is a giftshop but only refreshments are from a drink vending machine

Mi sta bene questa attrazione, ma io cerco anche un villaggio turistico con all inclusive e possibilmente animazione, grazie.

Mi spiace non posso dare informazioni in merito. per il mio genere di vacanza in Grecia, il top per me è studios e poi via a visitare una spiaggia al giorno e trovare tavernette del luogo. In Gracia per me niente all inclusive
Τι ώρα κλείνει η εκκλησία;

Δεν γνωρίζω, είναι ξωκλήσι και πιστεύω λειτουργεί μόνο σε γιορτές.
Ίσως κάποιος ντόπιος μπορεί να βοηθήσει.

Hi, can anyone tell me is it possible to drive right up to the church? Or is it only accessible by the steps. Thanks

Hi NellyNo1, no lorries or car, steep climbing and lot of people there.
Suggest you to change location, have you considered Agioi Anargiroi? It's still in Protaras, nearby Cape Greco.
The nice small church is easible accessible by car and there's plenty of parking space out there.
the sea view is magnificent, pictures there will be lovely framed.
