It take quite a long drive to get there so not best for children. There are other monasteries closer to pafos. But if you are on the mountains, really worth to see

There isnt a huge amount here but what is there is nice enough to walk around and see - you can do this for free without going inside the church. If you do want to go inside the church then please remember that there is a dress code - modesty being the key so women in shorts etc are not...

Very well laid out, easy access to site. Good view points for takings photographs. Walkable from the Aloe hotel.

Nevertheless when one sits down inside the church it has a special feel to it - peaceful and full of history. The famous 'Whipping Stone' is too easily overlooked on the way up...

We actually visited the place after 2 weeks in Paphos thinking earlier it's not a must see. We were wrong. The place is really worth a visit and stroll around.
