While climbing 300 steps to visit a church might sound pretty strenuous, we can assure you that it is well worth doing just that when it comes to the Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elias) Church in Protaras.

The experience of enjoying the magnificent view once you get to the top, particularly when the spring flowers are in bloom, is something that will stay with you long after your holiday in Cyprus is over.

At night-time the church is lit up so that it is even more breathtaking in its beauty.

A visit to Prophet Elias Church will allow you to experience the spiritual as well as historical side of Protaras.

Look Out For:
• Wear comfortable shoes and have a bottle of water with you as the climb can be tiring
