Church of Profitis Elias – Cyprus

Church of Profitis Elias – Ayia Napa’s Hilltop Sanctuary

Perched on a rocky hill overlooking Ayia Napa, the Church of Profitis Elias is one of Cyprus’ most breathtaking landmarks, offering panoramic views of the coastline and surrounding countryside. Built in a traditional Byzantine style, this small yet striking stone church is a place of peace, spirituality, and natural beauty.

To reach the church, visitors must climb a steep staircase of 153 steps, but the reward is a stunning 360-degree view, especially at sunset, when the golden hues create a magical atmosphere. Around the church, a sacred tree covered in ribbons and prayers symbolizes the local tradition of making wishes for loved ones.

Whether admiring the serene architecture, enjoying the sweeping views, or experiencing the tranquil spiritual energy, Profitis Elias is a must-visit destination in Ayia Napa.

Whether printed on canvas, puzzles, or other formats, this unique piece transforms Ayia Napa’s beloved church into a mesmerizing circular masterpiece—bringing the essence of Cyprus into your home!
