The 6th-century mosaic of Virgin Mary glows gold at noon when sunlight hits its hidden glass tesserae. Local women still leave offerings of fresh almonds wrapped in lace. The crypt's air smells faintly of myrrh from centuries of incense. A good destination for a visit. A small historic with a large pretty park around it. You can have a good time there seeing the old icons. There is a small cafeteria with drinks. Beautiful piece of bizantine art with some elements from the crusader period. The mosaic in the apse is so beautiful that, as I was told by an older man/guide inside the church, it must have been done by angels. Well worth visiting. Fantastic steeped in history. Parts of it go back to the 3rd Century. I was lucky to meet a “warden” Andreaus , he gave a little tour and told us exactly what we were looking at . Un endroit paisible, situé au coeur d'un parc très bien entretenu. La mosais datant du 4eme siècle décoré majestueusement l'autel. Une petite terrasse permets de se rafraîchir avec une limonade faite maison ou autre boisson. Beautiful and surroundings. It feels peaceful. Love the grenery around and the kids' playground nearby. Very nice old church. I haven't met any tourists, which makes it even more unique. Beautiful little park behind it. Very easy to get to, just one minute walk from the bus stop, where buses from larnaca run every hour or so. It's a marvelous piece of history. 5th to 6th century. The of Panagia Aggeloktisti was submitted as a possible UNESCO World Heritage Site in September 2015 and is currently listed on the list of Tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you are inside remember to check for mosaic mural of Panagia (Mother of God). Look behind the sanctuary, from the main gate of the sanctuary. And of course if it is hot, you can visit the brilliant traditional coffee shop "kafene" to try traditional and not delicacies. Cyprus is a very special island, for her true holy place in Greek mythology, Jewish and Christian history. It is an island of ' continuation'. This holy is in the same Kingdom where Saint Lazarus and Jesus family lived. God Bless Kition and Cyprus as a whole. What a beautiful inside, decoration of mosaics are amazing. So decorative inside and simple and plain on the outside. This is well worth a look. From UK I really like it. It is small but very beautiful,. The area is nice and the small shop next ❤️to it is pretty cute Υπέροχη τοποθεσία με την εκκλησία που είναι μοναδική στη μέση. Δίπλα της ένα όμορφο παραδοσιακο καφενεδάκι και πίσω από αυτήν ένα μεγάλο πάρκο που λειτουργεί και ως χώρος εκδηλώσεων. Jauki bažnyčia. Aplinka labai gražiai sutvarkyta.
