Interesting place to visit if you are a fan of history. There is an Icon and Archeology inside, it is close to Salamis ancient city Again, this was one of the many stops on our one-day sightseeing tour from Larnaca. This place is interesting. I don't know how much the entrance fee is as we had entry as part of a sightseeing day where we visited more places in Cyprus, but it was a nice and pleasant stop. Nice with a lot of a artifacts . It's a combination of a place of worship and a handwork exhibition. + A lot of to see (I could spend easily 45 minutes there, it's worth the money) + You can see a lot of handworks and paintings + The building has his own ambience + Well maintained facility - Toilet cost extra Our first stop exploring the region of many historical antiquities that should be seen if you're in Northern Cyprus. Our first stop was visiting the tiny chapel over the of St. Barnabas. Upstairs seemed to be in disrepair for obvious reasons, but as I descended it down the steps to the area, it got my hair standing on end being in this holy place. My wife and I said our prayers and left to explore the and museum. The chapel area of the is full of icons from over the many years. It's old, but seemed well preserved. There was a nominal fee to get inside as well as a Cafe and gift shop. The is full of really impressive collection of ancient antiquities that some date to 1000 BC. Kind of mind-blowing for us. Definitely one of the most intriguing stops of our day! A really interesting place for a fee of 50l to see Saint Barnabas area, the and of archaeological artefacts. Their is car parking, cafe and toilets. The chapel built over where his remains were found is quite petite and you can walk down to his resting place before he was moved. The has plenty of colourful artwork and mural depicting how his was found. The had many interesting and unusual artefacts and information. A nice peaceful place that was not too busy. Although it unequivocally merits further restoration and management, this monastery, or rather, museum, as is the current state of it, is a notable piece of Greek Cypriot history and national identity. It is commendable that efforts are underway to make sure it remains reputable. If you're visiting, make sure not only to visit the main building of the monastery, but also to explore the gallery behind it. The gallery can be entered through the back courtyard, and it holds a sizable collection of archeological artifacts well worth observing. Close to Salamis road and hotel. Nice ancient with several museums containing nice old paitings and old pottery and statues. We went there at 4pm and there was nobody else in the area. Tickets were 50 TL per person. Amazing little with such a story to tell. In addition to the church, there is a of artifacts found in the surrounding area . There is a charming little refreshment place that offered fresh squeezed juice, water and ice cream. Also , a separate that houses the body of St Barnabas. Outside was a market ( 3 tables) that were selling locally made souvenirs. Very much worth a visit. Lovely little with lots of artefacts from the island dating as far as 7000 BC! Pottery, toys, tools are only fiew amongst much more items to enjoy! There is also a of a St Barnabas in a chappel next to the monastery, the man who lived in the times of Jesus!!! HISTORY LOVERS? BE PREPARED TO BE AMAZED BY THIS TINY PLACE HAVING SO MUCH TO OFFER! Top tip...There are Royal Tombs just down the road as well as the ancient city of Salamis just a fiew miles away! 🤘🏻 It's a very interesting church. I recommend it. Also don't forget to visit the Christian shrine next to 100 Mt. Holy site of beloved St.Barnabas. and monastery. Enjoy this recreant place. People in the gift shop are very nice. Skip the typical keychains and magnets and find handmade unique one of a kind gifts his sister makes. Barnabas was born in Salamis and he was from Levi family. When he went to higher studies he met with Saul (St. Paul) and believed in the Christianity. They came to Cyprus together to spread the religion. A lot more to tell about the place and Barnabas. The first photo is taken at the entrance to the which was built on the 17AD. The old one was destroyed during the Arab raids and earthquakes. The second photo is taken infront of his where he is burried. If you have not visited St. Barnabas and the Icon let me be your guide and take you there and tell you more about St. Barnabas.
