It's the church you can see on a big rock in Protaras area. There are steps for getting to the top but it is not recommended for small kids and elderly (it's about 170 steps) If you climb the stairs on the rock you will not be disappointed by the view. A kiosk for soft drinks and some of the most delicious sandwiches exists at the bottom of the rock where you can relax on your way down. Recommended times of visit, late afternoon or at night when is cooler.

With a rich history of religion, the island is dotted with small village churches, as well as larger, grand ones. In the region of Protaras alone, you will find several ornate, small churches and chapels such as Prophet Elias, the chapel of Agious Anargyrous (Kosmas and Damianos) and the chapel of Agioi Saranta.

A small church on top of a hill, offering besides the spiritual connection, an amazing view over Famagusta district

At night the chapel is lit up so that its beauty is even more enchanting! The stone-built, Byzantine chapel of Prophet Elias is located on a steep hill, a few meters from the heart of Protaras. The church offers a stunning view of Protaras and its surroundings! Particularly in the evenings, when the church is lit up. To visit it you have to climb the 153 steep steps and from the top the view is spectacular. But what makes a great impression throughout the journey is the colourful ribbons that decorate the trees. These ribbons are mostly put on the trees by tourists, who have lost someone and on the ribbons the persons name is mentioned. It is usually done by Catholic tourists, this is not a local Cypriot custom. It is a building of 1984, built in the form that it is today in the position of a previous smaller Byzantine temple. The inside of the temple is quite impressive and unique. At the foot of the rock where the chapel is built, you will find the beautiful Protaras. To the east, it stretches out immeasurably, as far as the eye reaches, the deep blue sea. But where the view is shocking, it is towards the north that you gaze at Famagusta, Pentadactylos, Karpasia, the occupied Cypriot land.
