Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis Church, Troodos / Εκκλησία Αγίου Νικολάου της Στέγης, Τρόοδος
The church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis Saint Nicholas of the Roof near the village of Kakopetria belonged to a monastery...
Church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis
The Church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (Tue-Sat 9:00-16:00, Sun 11:00-16:00) was built in the 16th century as the major Church building of a Byzantine monastery and has been described as a true museum of Byzantine art. It has been mentioned in numerous historical sources, including in the 18th century writings of the Russian monk Vasily Barsky, who also left an inscription on a pilaster to the left of the iconostasis. In the late 12th century, to protect the Church from the elements, a gable roof was installed and covered with tile. This helped preserve the unique 12th century wall paintings. A number of them where under layers of frescoes from the 14th century, but as a result of careful restoration works they can now once again be seen by pilgrims. History has preserved many pages about the Church, including those describing how it miraculously survived a fire. It is believed to have been protected by St. Nicholas, who's image is depicted in one of the 12th century frescoes.

Kannoures Nature Trail - Kakopetria - Troodos - Nicosia - Limassol - Cyprus Part I.
Pretty much awesome trail very well marked at every point. Difficulties comes from some river cross and pass small gorges made by rain water to reach river. Long and tough to go always uphill. Most people go down hill only , that is much easier.
My route is different at several points than just walk thru on nature trail.
I did visit Chromium mine , you can expect difficulties to reach the mine, due huge rock falling and from leave the mine , due river did ruin the path there.
I did it uphill and back much more tough than just go down.
I did use my 4x4 car on forestry road and mark to you where you can park safely.
I did visit the neighbor valley at an easy viewpoint when you can get out from river valley, go for it ! scenery is breathtaking.
Study weather forecast before go, on rainy winter days it can be dangerous !
