Relatively enjoyable experience, it takes about an hour to complete the guided tour through the cave. The tour I was on spoke the information In Georgian, English and then Russian which I feel was too much. It would be better to split into language groups which would make the groups more manageable…there must have been 60 people on the one I was on. The cave itself is very beautiful though and the pathways are well kept. Well worth visiting, just go in the morning and on a weekday when it’s quieter!

Well-presented cave with good atmosphere Prometheus Cave is worth the visit if you're in Kutaisi. The cave itself is impressive, but what really elevates it is how they've set it up. Each hall has its own music and lighting that changes as you move through. It's not overdone—actually adds to the experience rather than feeling gimmicky. Made viewing each section more engaging. The formations are solid, well-lit so you can actually see the details. Walkways are in good condition, easy to navigate. At the end, there's an optional boat ride out of the cave for an additional 20 Lari. I took it and enjoyed it—nice way to finish the tour rather than just walking back out. Tour moves at a reasonable pace. Not rushed, but doesn't drag either. Good value for what you get. Would recommend.

Prometheus Cave is a stunning natural site. The walk through the cave takes you past incredible rock formations, all beautifully lit and well-maintained. The inside is cool and refreshing, especially in the summer. If you get cold easily, a light jacket is a good idea. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes — the walk is long but enjoyable. At the end of the cave, there’s a short boat ride that adds a fun touch, although it doesn’t last more than a few minutes. After exiting, you’ll find a small supermarket for refreshments, and a shuttle bus takes you back to the main entrance. There, you can enjoy traditional food or shop for small souvenirs. As for the guided tour, it felt a bit rushed. We didn’t get much time to pause for photos unless we were okay falling behind. The guide spoke English, but it was hard to follow due to the fast pace and overlapping noise from other groups. A slower delivery or separate tours by language would improve the experience and help everyone enjoy the cave more fully. We used the Maxim app for transportation — it was cheaper and quicker than Bolt in this area. Overall, it’s a must-visit in the Kutaisi region, but the tour style could be improved.

The Prometheus Caves in Georgia are a breathtaking natural wonder that invite visitors into a world sculpted by time. Located near Kutaisi, these limestone caves are filled with stunning stalactites, stalagmites, underground rivers, and shimmering lakes that create an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Colorful lighting carefully illuminates the pathways, highlighting the intricate rock formations and amplifying their natural beauty without diminishing their authenticity. The guided tours offer fascinating insights into the cave’s geology and its discovery, making the experience both educational and awe-inspiring. For those seeking a touch of adventure, the underground boat ride through the final stretch of the cave adds a magical sense of exploration. The Prometheus Caves remind every visitor of nature’s artistry and the quiet grandeur hidden beneath the earth’s surface.

This place could have been incredible, but we expected a bit more. The cave itself is breathtaking, yet the guide rushed through it, played the same music on repeat while watching videos on her phone (???), and gave minimal commentary that only repeated the information boards. The boat ride lasted maybe two minutes and was so fast you barely had time to take in the cave or the light installations. With some investment in the surrounding facilities and proper training for guides, this site could easily attract large numbers of tourists because it is worth it.

The caves are a natural wonder. The different formations underground are mesmerizing and it's a 1.4km walk on a cemented track once underground. The track is a bit wet so be sure to wear proper comfortable shoes that are tough to get wet. There are no exists midway and the tour takes about an bit over an hour to complete. There are 6 main halls with each having its own significance.

Guided tour through cave at a very nice pace. Optional boat ride at end must be paid in advance. At end of cave a small bus takes you back to the parking lot

If you are lucky to go there on a sunny day in January, it will give a vibe of Himalayan. The temperature is comparatively low in altitude. So dress up yourself properly. The cable car experience is excellent. To do ski you have to reach there before 10:00am.

Very cool ski resort, well organized with day and night ski!!!! Sleds open almost 24 7. The only downside is that the nightlife is very limited, to say the truth had no power to get out after full day of ski.

Great place. A must visit if you are touring Russia. We were here in April. But March is better if you want to ski.

Generally feels like they could have done better with the resort... Some runs are fantastic, not too long but fun. Most of the other slopes are long and narrow, which is less fun. Lifts are OK but the Russians should learn more about queue management. We had two times where we waited 20-25 minutes, other waits were long too. If the site is crowded then you feel it well on the slopes. The good :excellent site for beginners, the area between slopes is very nice for the powder seekers. Bottom line - not the same as the alps but a nice alternative nevertheless.

very modern ski resort although it is not the French Alp it is very recommended for family and weekends. best compensation money value

Nice ski resort, close to Adler, Sochi City, close to International Sochi airport, easily accessible with car, train or buses. Relatively not expensive. About 100 km of pistes.

this is a very beautiful and very welcoming place. in short this is the best ski town that i ever been in. Also there is a lot of different restaurants like italian, asian or just a steakhouse and so... the only minor problem was the lack of the english language, most of the russian there doesn't talk english

Amazing nature great Mountains great lake

Picturous place. The lake sits perfectly well in the valley. Clear water. A snow probably a bit better with snowcaps of Caucasian range

Extremely nice and beautiful place. Highly recommend to visit it.

Read my review in instagram @wonder__wanderer

My mother told me that it is a beautiful place…. Well only Russian tourists are able to see it. What a shame….

In ancient times there was a valley and a river at the site of the modern lake. A girl named Ritsa lived there with three brothers Agepsta, Atsetuka and Pshegishkha. Ritsa used to pasture her animals in the valley and her brothers hunted in the high mountains by day and returned to the valley in the evening, where they ate, sang songs, and admired their sister. Once the brothers went too far into the mountains. Ritsa missed them and sang. The forest robbers Gega and Iupshara heard her and decided to kidnap her. Iupshara caught her and rode down the valley, while Gega covered his flank. Ritsa's brothers heard her crying and came to the rescue. Pshegishkha threw a sword at the robbers, but he missed and the sword flew over the river. The valley was filled with water and turned into a lake. Ritsa broke from Iupshara's grip, but fell into the lake. The brothers couldn't save her. Then Pshegishkha threw the robber Iupshara into the lake, but Ritsa's water wouldn't accept him and threw out him over Pshegishkha's sword and the water carried him away to the sea. Gega ran after Iupshara, but he didn't manage to rescue him. Out of grief, the brothers turned into mountains, and today they are still standing here to protect the resting-place of Ritsa.

It’s breathtaking.

A place that a tourist should visit in Abkhazia. If you love geology and discover how the nature can surprise you, this is the right place. The tour lasts around 40/45 minutes. Remember to bring a jacket because also in summer the temperature is around 10°/12°

Great cave to visit! The height of the ceiling in the cave is staggering. Wonderful experience!

Must have visited attraction in Abkhazia. Unforgettable journey/

A big cave that you had to take a train to visit... The inside is so beautiful.. Each part has it own story the guide will light you up all the way in

This cave is huge! We were walking 1,5 hours. It was very interesting to see nature creations. Great experience!

Very good

It's worth the wait and the time to see this huge cave with metro like train that will transport you down and then back up.

Really nice place.

Good zoo

It's just a small over crowded zoo. But, it is interesting for small children.

Many old animals which live in comfortable places

Clean. Safe. Organized. Well stocked.

Great place especially with kids

Poor animals, high prices

Otherwise the show is amazing. The dolphin shows were fantastic, and interacting with the dolphins was incredibly enjoyable. I recommend visiting this wonderful place to all animal and marine show enthusiasts.

This city is now famous of resort and beautiful black sea, but during the USSR, this city has witnessed a very fantastic series of corruption cases and the fight between central and local power under the Brezhenev regime. It would be interesting if you ask local for storeies about this.

Nice aquarium with many tipe of fish. It is not so big but the sharks are Interesting.

Amazing place! My family was absolutely astonished with the performance. The hour passed almost instantly. Dolphins and belugas were incredibly beautiful, smart and clever!

Great animals: dolphins, white whales and fur-seal

Amazing dolphins, aurus and also the Beluga Whales!

I've got there just after the show started however the prices are acceptable if you haven't seen dolphin before, they have many different prices for different type of tickets. the most expensive one was around 100£ where you were swimming with the dolphins and having photos too. It's a very children friendly place so definitely good day out if you have children and it's not far at all from the port

Its pricey, 500 rub for less than a 5 min ride but the view from the observation deck worth it

Closed ! Due to technical issues

(Translated by Google) Why create a queue out of the blue when it’s high time to sell tickets electronically and install a turnstile with a reader. Well, an additional trailer could be installed, sometimes you can wait for an hour for the funicular, this is in September, which can be difficult to imagine during the season (Original) Зачем создавать очередь на ровном месте, когда давно пора продавать билеты электронно и поставить турникет со считывателем. Ну и вагончик дополнительный можно было бы поставить, бывает что и по часу фуникулер можно прождать, это в сентябре, что бывает в сезон сложно представить

(Translated by Google) The lower station is difficult to find. The fare is Aug 25 - 1300 rubles, including a ticket to visit the arboretum. (Original) Нижнюю станцию трудно найти. Стоимость проезда авг 25 - 1300 руб в комплекте с билетом посещения дендрария.

(Translated by Google) Arriving in Sochi, we decided to visit this place, based on reviews I read that it was better to go up the cable car, and then calmly go down and inspect everything. We found the cable car is not immediately located at the intersection behind the kiosks. We arrived early and had to wait, then, having bought tickets, we stomped upstairs and waited for our turn. Everything in the booth creaks terribly, there are many people and the height. During the climb it becomes stuffy, the cost is not cheap, one thing pleases is the gorgeous view from above. (Original) Приехав в Сочи решили посетить это место по отзывам читала, что лучше подняться по канатной дороге, а потом спокойно спускаться все осматривая. Мы нашли канатку не сразу располагается на перекрестке за киосками. Пришли рано пришлось ждать, потом купив билеты топали наверх ещё и ждали своей очереди. В кабинке страшно все скрипит ещё много людей и высота. Во время подъёма становится душно стоимость не дешёвая, одно радует сверху открывается шикарный вид .

(Translated by Google) In theory, both the park and the cable car there are absolutely wonderful. They are no less beautiful in architecture, engineering and landscape design... Any engineer or architect can envy the author of the cable car stations with a pure soul. But all this was done quite a long time ago. And now both the ski lift and the park leave an ambivalent impression. When compared with others, the existing cable car differs favorably in that it continues to operate. But if the technical condition (at first glance, at least) is rather pleasing, then, for example, for years, it seems that unwashed glass in the cabins cannot please. The very meaning is lost - an overview of the city and the park from magnificent angles. At the top station, not all (paid, by the way) observation devices are working. Well, it would be nice if the information about the lift’s operating hours in Yandex was correct for these particular seasons and days. The park itself does not leave the feeling of being completely well-groomed. Some trees need treatment or pruning, some already require immediate replacement, otherwise only signs indicating the species will remain. With small vegetation the picture is approximately the same. But what opportunities there are in combining such a landscape with a subtropical climate! Plus there is a long history of cultivating exotic varieties in this place. And so it seems that the entertainment function of the park has finally won over the educational function. And the ridiculous retro-style stalls at the most overlooking points generally destroy the harmony intended by the creators. And the condition of many paths is far from not only ideal, but even from the norm. And if this is not important for a healthy adult or teenager, then for old people and parents with children, part of the park is not very accessible. And this is for quite decent money. The small cafe and the adjacent toilet pavilion do not fit into the canon of all styles at once. I didn’t have time to get acquainted with the kitchen; prices are average. Eh, with such a view and location, both I and another architect would work... One can only hope that someday the master’s hands will get around to all this, in a good way. (Original) В теории и парк, и канатная дорога туда абсолютно прекрасны. Не менее прекрасны они и в архитектуре, инженерии и ландшафтном устройстве... Автору станций канатной дороги может с чистой душей завидовать любой инженер или архитектор. Но всё это было сделано достаточно давно. А теперь и подъёмник, и парк оставляют двойственное впечатление. Если сравнивать с другими, действующая канатная дорого выгодно отличается уже тем, что продолжает работать. Но если техническое состояние на (первый взгляд, по крайней мере) скорее радует, то, например, годами, похоже, не мытые стекла в кабинах радовать не могут. Теряется сам смысл - обзор города и парка с великолепных ракурсов. На верхней станции не все (платные, между прочим) обзорные приборы исправны. Ну и неплохо бы, чтобы информация о часах работы подъёмника в Яндексе была верна для именно этих сезонов и дней. Сам парк не оставляет ощущения вполне ухоженного. Некоторые деревья нуждаются в лечении или обрезке ухода, некоторые уже требуют скорой замены, иначе останутся только таблички с указанием вида. С малой растительностью примерно та же картина. А ведь какие возможности, в сочетании такого ландшафта с климатом субтропиков! Плюс давняя история культивации экзотических сортов на этом месте. А так кажется, что развлекательная функция парка окончательно победила познавательную. А нелепые ретростильные ларёчки на самых видовых точках вообще разрушают гармонию, задуманную создателями. Да и состояние многих дорожек далеко не только от идеала, а даже и от нормы. И если здоровому взрослому или подростку это не важно, то для стариков и родителей с малышами часть парка не очень-то и доступна. И это за вполне пристойные деньги. Маленькое кафе и прилегающий к нему павильончик-туалет не вписываются в канон всех стилей сразу. С кухней ознакомиться не было времени, цены средние. Эх, с таким видом и локацией, и я, и другой архитектор бы поработал... Остаётся надеятся, что и до всего этого дойдут когда-нибудь хозяйские руки, в хорошем смысле дойдут.

(Translated by Google) They only accept cash and booths run every 15 minutes. But the top tower is very beautiful and has an amazing view! (Original) Принимают только наличные и кабинки ходят раз в 15 минут. Но верхняя башня очень красивая и с неё потрясающий вид!

Not bad! Not a great place for a lunch, but pretty much entertaining for a decent entry price. A lot of people just be patient.

It's a beautiful park! It's very clean and you could have a nice walk! The stadiums are so beautiful!😍

As of 2017 this place is unbelievable well maintained, with lots of stuff to see. It can be a bit expensive though, depending on what you want to see and do.

Nice big place for race, football, stuff. Near sea, railway station and airport.I thought in Russia place like this impossible, sorry.

Had a lovely time visiting the park and had a guided tour which was well worth it. We came back in the evening for the musical fountain show

Places for international events and festivals. Very clean and tidy. I have many memories from wfys festival.

I love every single day there!

One of the best place you should visit when you travel to sochi. You can spend all day with family and friends with lot of fun and enjoyment. Rent scooter,bicycle. Take a ride of amazing rollercoaster. Have look at sport car museum. Music fountain show in evening for 1 hr. Lot of sports stadium.

Amazing place. Was there during the World Cup.

It can be a superb place to visit if there is a tournament or match underway, without any its will be just see the outer stadium. The best way to explore it is with a electric scooter(single and dual) with cost around 500 rubles for 30 mins. Park is superbly built and managed. A true master piece.

Great place. Calms your mood enjoyable sochi park opens till 6pm it is amusement park and the Olympic park is open all day but visit at night to see its actual beauty but for rides go in morning

This place is in bigger area . good for long walking . but u can hire transport available right ther also. i m impressed to see the maintenance of such large area even after years of olympics. at some points they ask for entry tickets to enter in buildings .

A must visit place! The evening fountain show is a treat to watch :)

Bike renting, speed scating, huge free space to drive electric scooters, kids are happy here

Incredible botanical garden. You could spend an afternoon exploring it. Well worth the time and money. Well kept, clean, and beautiful. Very large. Expect to use the bus service within the park. There is also a fee to enter the park and a separate fee for the bus service within the park. Costs more for foreigners, of course (one of the worst parts of Georgia is the foreigner fee in so many places).

A wonderful place to walk in the lap of nature. Tickets are priced at 20 GEL, which is a little steep. And if you need an electric vehicle inside, you'll have to end up paying even more. Plenty of photo spots along with some great views of the Black Sea. There's also an amazing zipline for those seeking a little adrenaline rush, but again it's a little pricey at 70 GEL. Be prepared to walk a lot, so wear comfortable shoes.

We visited the garden in October. The view is very beautiful and the air is fresh with green and flowers smell. We went by bus 10. It is hard to go through all the garden as it has different elevations which make it difficult. Also, there are electrical cars too.

Amazing park with beautiful sea views♥️ There is an electrical bus that can take you one way through the park with an extra fee of 10 gel, takes like 15 minutes ride Pay attention that most of the park has uphill paths, we are with a baby stroller so it was a bit challenging so we took the bus and then it was nice

It was so beautiful that I enjoyed all of the moments there. I spent 4 hours day. Definitely it’s better to go from morning to. All of the view were breathtaking. The weather was also nice.

A stunningly beautiful botanic garden with collections of plants and trees from all over the world. With views along the coastline, rolling hills covered in lush vegetation and plenty of places to sit and relax in the shade, it's the perfect place to get away from the bustle of the beaches.

Honestly, I’m not a garden person, I usually prefer adventure and thrill over long walks and greenery. Most tour guides in Batumi don’t include the Botanical Garden, but we decided to visit anyway… and I’m glad we did! Yes, there’s a lot of walking (be ready for it!), but once you reach the top, the views are absolutely worth it — stunning landscapes and a gorgeous view of the Black Sea. 🌊🌿 My main reason for visiting, though, was the zipline....and oh my god, it was amazing! Totally thrilling, 70 Lari, and worth every step it takes to get there. You’ll feel like you’re flying over nature. So if you’re into adrenaline or just want some jaw-dropping scenery, this spot is a must. I went there just for the zipline, but ended up appreciating the whole place.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. Perfect for walking. The boulevard is full of people enjoying their time, playing, walking, biking, etc. Very clean and well maintained, the greenery is beautiful and the playgrounds are nice. The seaside is nice and most of the attractions are within the boulevard or nearby.

This is without a doubt the heart of the city. It's a beautiful and huge wooded park that stretches for 7 kilometers along the Black Sea coast. It is the perfect place to stroll at any time of day, whether for walking, running, or renting a bike. It's clearly a meeting point for locals and tourists, always full of life. The place is very well-maintained, with various modern sculptures, cafes, and fountains. An essential and relaxing walk.

Batumi Boulevard Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the city, stretching along the Black Sea coast. Originally established in 1881, it features palm trees, sculptures, bike paths, cafes, and plenty of spots to relax — making it a favorite among both locals and visitors. Personally, I really enjoy spending time here, especially in the evenings. The musical fountain show adds a special charm and makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. It's a perfect place for a peaceful walk, watching the sunset, or simply unwinding by the sea.

A beautiful place for long walks or a jog (5km...) along the beachfront or the tree-lined paths alongside. Clean and picturesque with the varied architecture in the background. Really nice.

What a thriving place... Mornings and evenings are so gorgeous. There are cycling track, walking lane and roraing black sea near both. There are multipal food shacks and some good entertainment in the evening. Eveningn is very vibrant here.

The first place I went after checking in to my hostel. 8 kms of beauty. Right near the beach. Very lively. It's a good idea to rent a city bike and take tour around. It's also connected to the 6 may park. There is a little japanese garden in there. Gelato shops, bars, coffee places and the best doggies in the world are all summoned in this park 🫠

A very nice area in Batumi, full of restaurants, bars, beaches and sea cruises

Either the special permission paper or guide is required to get to the top of the mountain. You can get the permission at the office "Melikgazi Kaymakamliği" located in the nearby city Kayseri. Otherwise you are not allowed to climb to the top. There is no specific information about permissions on the internet that is why I am sharing with you the personal experience. The information was provided by the local police station located at the bottom of mountain. They were very helpful. Good luck!

Wow, what a change in scenery! We are now in Cappadocia, a 1.5hr flight, east of Istanbul. A reasonably early start, then bus / plane / bus ... and we arrive. I cannot start to describe the landscape (refer photos I guess) it is so unique. Located south of Mount Erciyes, the region is known for its curious volcanic landscape and by the people who have lived here for centuries.

Mount Erciyes is a majestic mountain with a maximum elevation of about 3,900 meters. You can see the mountain from many points in Kayseri. It is the highest mountain in Central Anatolia.

You can not climb this mountain without a special permit

Erciyas Mountain is around 25 mins drive from Kayseri. Road accessibility is very good. It's the best place for skiers

Great skiing experience at a very small price. More than enough slopes and there is hardly anyone there if you go in the week. Would definitely recommend.

Mountain & Volcano with ski resort & hiking areas. As for January 2021 there is not so much snow, only 20% of slopes are opened to ski, and since there is a quarantine, so nothing works every Saturday-Monday, but in “normal times” with enough snow the views & the spot is fabulous to experience. The best way to reach is by car, since there are shuttles from Kayseri, but not too often and with long waiting time at many hotels in the city and 3 stop near the Ski Resort. The Mountain has different view from different sides: I was from Erciyes Ski Resort, but it is highly recommended the view from Develi town too.

Paşabağları is one of the most iconic spots in Cappadocia, and it definitely lives up to the photos! The fairy chimneys here are stunning — tall, surreal rock formations that look like they’re straight out of a fantasy film. Some even have little cave chapels or monk cells carved inside, which adds a special historical touch. It’s a great place for walking around, taking photos, and just soaking in the otherworldly landscape. The views are especially beautiful in the late afternoon light. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can get quite crowded, especially in peak season, and some parts feel a bit too commercialized with souvenir stands. Still, it’s absolutely worth a stop and offers some of the most striking rock formations in the region.

Pasabaglar is one of two sites valid for the same ticket of 12 Euro. This is a good site to stretch your legs. Nothing much to go inside and no signs describing the history or what you are looking it. Nice view from the top - if you are in enough shape, climb the route up on the left. Worth an hour at the most. Some nice fairy chimneys here but I think better near goreme.

Picturesque views and easy walking path. About 1 hr would cover it. Worth the trip/ time for sure!

This place is magnificent. I recommend visiting if you are in the area

Nice place, a little busy because of school break/Sunday.

Looks good from outside €12 entry fee. We didn't go in. There are a few shops outside. DONOT BUY ANYTHING from there, it's a rip-off. Same things you get near Uchisar Castle for much less!

If I could imagine a real life place where The Smurfs lived, this would be it. It’s something how erosion—a wearing away of things due to the forces of nature alone—could create beauty in the process. The mushroom-like rock formations here are a sight to behold. I came here during a rare time of heavy snow, though the snow actually gave the landscape more character. Place like this are why I love traveling. Take your time and walk around; take the time to take it all in. Allow yourself to be in the moment. This is a must-see place.

Pretty impressive views on top. It makes for such a picturesque skyline. I hiked up here from Love Valley. Take note they don't take the MuseKart for here. You have to pay a separate entrance fee. You could actually explore from the back of the castle as long as you're careful not to fall as the paths around it are a bit precarious

Uçhisar Castle offers one of the best panoramic views in all of Cappadocia! Climbing to the top might take a bit of effort, but once you’re up there, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking 360° view of fairy chimneys, valleys, and the surrounding villages. It’s especially magical during sunrise or sunset when the landscape glows in golden light. The castle itself is carved right into the rock, and walking through its tunnels and rooms gives a glimpse into how people once lived here. It’s not a huge site, but the scenery makes it absolutely worth the visit. Wear good shoes and bring your camera — every angle is postcard-worthy. A must-see spot for anyone visiting Cappadocia!

We enjoyed our little hike up the castle. Beautiful view and it is well taken care of. My only issue is that it was crowded without much thought to the safety of the really small children. I would recommend other locations that had better views, significantly less crowds, and better signage/information. Good, but not one I would go back to.

We visited Uçhisar Kalesi as a group of 8. The visit is mostly from the outside—it’s essentially a series of steps you climb to reach the top, as the inside is not accessible. From the top, you get an amazing view of Uçhisar, the fairy chimneys, and the surrounding landscape. The castle itself also has a very interesting and unique shape, making it well worth the visit.

Uçhisar Castle (Uçhisar Kalesi) offers one of the best panoramic views in all of Kapadokya. The valley, the castle, the "chimneys," and the entire landscape that we can admire make this place unique. Just thinking that all the holes we see were once the doors of people's houses leaves much to imagine and what it would be like to live like that. The good thing is that many of these holes/"doors" are open and can be visited to see what their interior was like. The castle itself is imposing, a rocky castle that sits atop the village. In the landscape we have in the village of Uçhisar, the horizon is endless and beautiful, you can stop for a while or even sit in one of the cafes and admire all the beauty of this place. It's one of the must-see spots in Kapadokya!

a must go destination but highly recommend going just before sunset, take some pictures and then buy tickets to the cave castle. b if If it’s a hot summer day, going early evening also means far less heat during your cave castle stair climb. Takes only about 10-minutes to the top for people with no physical limitations.. but if you take your time exploring various rooms etc., you might spend 30-60 minutes inside.

I visited Uçhisar Castle in May 2024 and really enjoyed it. The view from the top is amazing, you can see all over Cappadocia. The walk up isn’t too hard, and it's totally worth it once you get to the top. It’s a cool place with lots of history and great photo spots. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

First, if you are over 175 cm (~5’10”) you definitely need a ball cap (hard hat actually) to help protect your head give a warning of impact. I am 185 cm or 6’ tall and hit my head hard several times. The passages are very short/low in many places and sometimes for quite a distance 30-50 meters). Some passages are also very narrow so if you are obese beware. There are many steps up and down so you must be able to walk without assistance. There are no explanations in the tunnels and very few have a sign indicating what the room/space was used for. They say it is 7 or 8 levels deep but you have no idea if that is true as there is no indication of the level inside. We eavesdropped on a few tour guides but didn’t get much out of that. It is interesting place but as a single stop for the price and bruise/cut on my head, I wouldn’t do it again. Perhaps with a tour it would be better- but there is no excuse not to have more information and explanation of the routes. (Hint- follow red arrows for going down, blueto exit). If you are claustrophobic or need more air, I would also avoid.

Derinkuyu Underground City in Cappadocia is a fascinating glimpse into ancient ingenuity. Descending through narrow tunnels and multi-level chambers, you can explore living quarters, kitchens, stables, and even hidden chapels carved entirely from soft volcanic rock. The ventilation shafts and clever passageways reveal how communities lived safely underground for months during invasions. It can feel tight in some areas, so be prepared for low ceilings and narrow corridors. Visiting early helps avoid crowds and gives time to fully appreciate the scale and history. A must-see for anyone curious about Cappadocia’s extraordinary past.

⚠️ This journey is not suitable for claustrophobes or those with mobility issues, as some passages are narrow and steep. This place, a couple of hours from the city, has a very interesting history and is a special place. It’s important to go with a good guide, I recommend getting it once you’re in Capadoccia.

Descending into Derinkuyu feels like slipping through the seams of history itself. This ancient underground marvel—carved deep into the volcanic rock of Cappadocia—is not just a city, but a story of survival, ingenuity, and spiritual resilience. With tunnels so narrow you’ll crouch like a hobbit and chambers that once housed entire communities, it’s hard not to be awed by the engineering and purpose behind it all. From kitchens and stables to a ventilation system that still works, every corner whispers of lives lived in secrecy and strength. ⚠️ Not for the claustrophobic or those with mobility issues—some passages are tight and steep. But for the curious and the brave, it’s a journey worth every step.

Absolutely fascinating place! Hard to believe people once lived so deep underground. The tunnels, rooms, and ventilation system are incredible — it really makes you imagine what life was like centuries ago. A must-visit in Cappadocia if you love history and hidden worlds! 🕳️✨

Derinkuyu Underground City — A Journey to the Center of the Earth Descending into Derinkuyu felt like stepping through a portal into another world. At first, the entrance seemed modest, almost unremarkable — just a hole in the ground of Cappadocia. But as I made my way deeper through the narrow, cool tunnels, the sensation of going into the Earth’s core became undeniable. Each step downward brought a growing sense of curiosity and wonder. It was impossible not to imagine the hundreds — maybe thousands — of people who once lived here, hidden away from the surface for months or even years, with their animals, food, and hopes. The very thought of an entire city carved out of volcanic rock, plunging eight levels and more than 60 meters deep, was astonishing. With every softly lit chamber, my heartbeat quickened. There were storerooms, stables, kitchens, churches, and ventilation shafts, all perfectly designed for survival. This wasn’t just a shelter — it was a masterpiece of human engineering and resilience. What amazed me most were the massive circular stone doors, used to seal off tunnels in times of danger — like stepping inside a fortress built beneath the ground. In the damp, echoing silence, I felt a strange mix of awe and unease. There was something profoundly human about this place — fear, faith, and ingenuity all etched into the walls. And when I finally climbed back to the surface, the sunlight felt brighter than ever. Visiting Derinkuyu wasn’t just sightseeing — it was a journey through history, courage, and the boundless creativity of those who once turned darkness into home.

It’s a mysterious and enchanting place, with a truly magnetic and spiritual atmosphere. Tolkien must have been inspired by this place when creating the Mines of Moria. Also, the cemetery on the 8th floor reminded me of the Nazgûl’s tomb from The Lord of the Rings. Cold be hand and heart and bone, and cold be sleep under stone: never more to wake on stony bed, never, until the Sun fails and the Moon is dead. In the black wind the stars shall die, and still on gold here let them lie until the dark lord lifts his hand over dead sea and withered land.

The Dim cave, which is 11 km away from Alanya, is 232 m above sea level and is located on the western slope of Mount Cebeli Reis. Dim Cave, consisting of 4 galleries, is 360 m long, horizontal, 10-15 m wide and high. There are rich stalactites, stalagmites and travertine formations inside the cave. At the end of the cave, 17 m deeper than the entrance, there is a small lake with a water surface of 200 m². It is the second largest cave in Türkiye that is open to visitors.

Amazing place. Loads of steps to get to entrance. Be prepared for steps and more steps. Two caves. Right cave 50m. Loads of steps. Left cave 310m. Loads and loads of steps. Dark. Very cool. Plenty of places to stop and get your breath back. Highly recommend.

Great if you're interested in stalactites and stalagmites that form curious figures when viewed from the correct perspective. Make sure you bring a sweater or light jacket as it gets cooler the deeper in you go. Really enjoyed the restaurant before the cave that has a large menu of delicious bites to eat.

Went there for some sightseeing. I would not book a whole tour but rather rent a car or scooter and go up there yourself, the whole trip is a gift already. It’s high up in the mountains and you’ll probably want to stop here and there to have a look around. Inside the cave it’s quite amazing seeing how nature does her thing spanning over thousands of years. It’s quite large but inside takes about an hour. Depending how you climb those stairs or crawl up and down. Considering the price for a ticket inside it’s definitely worth a look. Even the kids after complaining they don’t want to look at some boring rocks, found it very interesting and somewhat thrilling. They are 5 and 9. Outside we had something small to eat which was reasonable nothing spectacular and the kids had some ice cream. We had a few fun hours before we went down to the river.

Really nice cave 300 meter walk inside the cave. The price was 5.50 euro or 250 lira.

Beautiful place! 🪨✨ The cave makes a huge impression - amazing rock formations, colorful lighting and a pleasant coolness inside. A perfect escape from the heat. At the end a small lake - looks magical! 🧊🌿 Definitely worth seeing! 💯

6 euro entrance. Still not too bad for tourists (yet). The cave is excellent. You can walk yourself. It’s dimly lit. All caves have differences and also lighting philosophies. This one is sim. Could be a bit more light in the stalagmites etc. but still good

Probably one of the most beautiful and charming beaches in the island, parking nearby is available. You need to be there early if you want to get a sunbed and umbrella otherwise improvise a place in the shade.

Excelent, Clean, organized by municipality, sandy beach with superb blue water. 7,5 euro 2 sunbeds+umbrelă.

A wonderful beach with crystal-clear, uniquely turquoise water and white sand. You can relax passively while sunbathing or enjoy active leisure with pedal boats, small boats, and more.

Absolutely beautiful beach! The sand is soft and golden, and the water is crystal clear with the most amazing turquoise color — it honestly feels like the Caribbean. The sea stays shallow for a long distance, which makes it perfect for families with kids. There are plenty of facilities — clean toilets, showers, sunbeds, umbrellas, cafés, and water sports (SUP, kayaks, parasailing). Everything is well maintained, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. It can get quite crowded during summer weekends, so it’s best to come early in the morning. The small island a few meters offshore is great for swimming or snorkeling.

Beautiful place. Excellent water sports. We purchased our food and refreshments from a nearby supermarket and took them to the beach ⛱️.

This was one of my favorite beach on the whole island! very clear water and blue. Very fun for snorkeling nead the fig tree beach island

Great beach at the centre of Protaras. Clear, cristal water. There is a place for watersports. You will enjoy!

Nice beach, 2 sunbeds and an umbrella 7.5€ which is very acceptable. Coffee and water around 7€, there are couple of stores nearby on the main road with acceptable prices, beer 1.8€, snacks 1.4€. Must visit if in Cyprus

Was here off season - April Enjoyed my time so much No crowds Water crystal clear Sunbed prices are regulated 2.5e per bed just like on the rest of the island there is no overprice for being the most popular beach I see how it can be an issue in season due to crowds but you just have to pick your time to enjoy

Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice beach and has a beautiful sea but it surrounded by hotels and packed. If you are a person who likes calm beaches without people, avoid this one or avoid Ayia Napa alltogether. It is crowded even in mid October.

Very nice beach, in the begining of November, not too busy, can get sun beds pretty easy (2.5 eur per bed) and parking is 4 eur full day. Beach bar works and have pretty good food, slightly more expensive than everywhere else.

Wonderful beach! The water is crystal clear and the weather was perfect, not windy at all. We visited in mid October and it was still quite busy, so I can only imagine how crowded it gets during the peak summer months. Definitely a must visit spot! Don’t miss out on having a piña colada served in a pineapple.

Beautiful local beach. Cristal clear water, sandy beach, restaurants and beach bars are available. Sunbeds are 2.5e as in while Cyprus. There is volleyball court on the beach.

One of the best beaches in Europe. Beautiful sand and water. Plenty of bars. Reachable by bus and 5 min walk. Easy spend a day here. One of the best places in Cyprus. Always a winner. Never disappoints. Must see. Work a trip even if on other side of island or Pahpos.

Great water Park, small enough to get around to all the slides and attractions. Clean, good selection of food and drinks. We hired the Cabana for an extra 50 euros which was well worth it, loads of beds available around the park though. Lockers available at the entrance and photos taken throughout the day which you can purchase at the end. There is a carpark, bus stop and taxi rank just outside the park. We had a fab day.

Some really good water rides with different levels for all ages. A large pool area with a wave machine. The park is in need of updating in my view but would still visit again. Our ticket (bought on line) enabled us to visit twice so we felt was value for money.

Great day out for the family. Water based fun for all ages from great areas for small children and toddlers and a good variety of slides and rides for adults, including some really high fast drops. Went midweek in May and pretty much no wait on any of the rides. It has a wave machine in the main pool and a few other smaller pools dotted around the park. There are lots of options for food and refreshments, not too expensive. Recommend getting a Cabana, which comes with its little safe box. Its not cheap, I think it was €50 but is great for kids especially to have a lie down or snooze during the day. 4 stars as its a bit on the pricey side even with the discounted junior (2 - 12) tickets €28 and kids under 2 having free entrance.

Visited on a weekday as a group of four adults. Staff are an absolute asset to the venue they were all exceptionally friendly, on the ball and consistently acting in an assurance of safety. The rides themselves were diverse, exciting and for us there were next to no queues. MC Mike who ran the "games" i.e. spin the wheel etc was a joy and made for great entertainment. Food and drink was fairly priced. I cannot fault our experience we had the absolute best time and spent the whole day here without getting bored. My only feedback would be that some areas need a repaint just to freshen it up. I don't think you'll disappointed though. In addition they have refigerated storage for your packed lunch if you wish to take this you can then get a pass to leave and eat outside of the venue on designated picnic area. We thought this was a amazing touch and wish that more venues offer refrigeration/picnic.

Worth it for a day of fun, but some things can be improved. Positive is the multitude of lifeguards who give you the necessary safety for your children and the entire staff from the entrance to the terraces and restaurants. Affordable prices and the fact that you can find something for all tastes. Maybe some new sun loungers and more non-slip mats on the floor.

Great fun for a reasonable price. All rides were fun and it was not crowded. Lots of entertaining activities for the kids. Very clean and well staffed with decent restaurants.

A really great park for families. Beautiful landscaping and cypris atmosphire. Beds and shade everywhere. Great slides with good guides. Very clean and well maintained. Very good food and drinks service.

A small port, not very spectacular. A mix of small boats, pleasure and fishing. On the shore several restaurants with terraces. Not very crowded, around 2:00 PM. The area looks decent, seems recently renovated. In the immediate vicinity is the castle, in a rather bad condition.

The harbour is beautiful. You can walk all the way round the harbour and past the castle. There are some lovely shops, bars and restaurants, we found a great rooftop bar for cocktails and beers with views over the harbour. Definitely spend half a day wandering round and exploring the side streets that lead off the harbour. On our previous visit we took a boat trip along the coast which is also beautiful.

Beautiful place . So atmospheric. The food is out of this world .

Great place to relax and people watch. Numerous cafes and restaurants.

Underrated harbour This peaceful place reminds me of portofino a very well known harbour in north Italy Only it’s nicer and the food is great

This is a very beautiful place. A piece of Cyprus's history. Every turist in North Cyprus should visit this place.

Gorgeous place to visit. Unlimited restaurants. Great shops. Boat tours. Castle tours. Pretty much a full day out. Upmarket seaside bars and casinos. Lots to do and see. Extremely hot in the summer though so remember the sun tan lotion. Well worth a visit.

A beautiful ruins to look around. We did a tour which we found informative whilst walking around and appreciating the architecture of the building and ground. Finish off our visit with a fresh cold drink at the cafe by the entrance. 8 minute walk uphill from the car park where our coach dropped us off.

Worth a visit for sure. Parking may be tricky but great gothic half ruined architecture. The mountain backdrop makes for a dramatic scene. You can see everything in about half an hour

The ruins of a former monastery. They still house a small church. All in all, nothing "wow"... The area is beautiful, clean, full of greenery and flowers. In addition, from the monastery courtyard you have a very beautiful panorama, with the sea and Kyrenia visible in the distance. There is also a restaurant, adjacent to the monastery.

Bit different from the normal ruins. The restaurant, bar and cafe is attached to the abbey so I felt a bit strange but it's a popular place for locals because of that. Therefore there is shuttle bus service, 30 TL for a single ticket, very easy access and a nice view. There are nice hotels and restaurants. You can take a bus from a big parking space. There's some signboards there.

Walking around Ballapais monetary, there was no audio guide or tour guide available to purchase on the day. You just walk around yourself. Tickets are available to purchase on the day and parking was available. A few of cafes and restaurants near by to enjoy afterwards.

It's amazing place to visit around Girne. It has great architecture and nice place for photography.

It has amazing views. Interesting ruins to walk around - lots of stairs to see everything. Inexpensive to enter. Not much information about the building.

I've been once before as a teen and brought my partner with me this time. We enjoyed it very much! The walk up is very long and tiring, definitely take a breather now and then when climbing up the stairs to get to the peak. Beautiful views and well preserved. Only downside is that the Turkish Army closed it down early the day we went for something so we did rush a little.

Beautiful place. Shame that people don’t respect the no smoking and no littering signs. Also be wary of cafe .. asked for a Turkish coffee as had just seen them make one .. only to be told no.. only coffee available is from the espresso machine at €3 a cup. On leaving saw more customers having Turkish coffee.. definitely feel like it was a ‘tourist tax’ .. ..so be warned 😡

We got in just nefore 3pm and we're told to get down to the ticket office by 4pm. Tho on the outside signboard it says last entray 4.30pm That's apparently not the case today. This seems to do with it being part of the military base So changes to opening time can occur at anytime without notice. The view was really pretty we first went to john's church/chapel then we went to the peak 734m above sea level. The walk up there was not hard. I'd rate it medium difficulty tops. The road is a bit uneven and can be slippery after rains So make sure you wear proper shoes for that. We got to the top around 3.35 So 30-35min is enough for a person who is moderately fit to get up and we got down just before 4pm. Made a few other stops to see the beautiful queens' window too. We didn't visit the cistern next to the beautiful Windows unfortunately as we ran out of time. I think 1.5-2hrs is probably good for here. 1hr is a bit short. There doesn't seem to be public transport here whatsoever. We got a taxi up there and when to the monastery then back to town for 70euros...

Lots of people have wondered how accessible it is for older, less abled folks to access the castle. I visited yesterday & I am 71. Yes I am very fit for my age but for such an awesome setting do NOT let other misleading reviews stop you going. The castle is easily accessed from the car park where a little cafe is located. It's currently,50 tl entrance (just over a £1) & even just inside there is the most incredible view of Kyrenia. The steps for levels 1 & 2 are perfectly adequate & not very tough (see pictures) if you do not venture inside the first lookout towers which are more of a challenge. The are some awesome things to see within the first two levels like the Byzantine Church. There is also a super little cafe with an amazing view of the north coast at Kyrenia, selling their refreshing lemonade (& mocktails) & a small selection of small gifts & postcards. Now there is the third level to explore & I spent 90 mins on that level it's astounding! Again see pictures of steps & now I would say you have to be reasonably fit or very determined if a slow ascent is within your capabilities. There are astounding parts like the royal apartments with amazing views but the higher up you go the more arduous it gets until the pinnacle of the summit at 732m. some 333' higher than the car park. Steps are a lot more uneven but with care & a firm grip of the handrails it's achievable. Various pictures illustrate some of my descriptions. Some reviews talk about unstable poor handrails, this is not the case they were all solid & firm & reassuring. Some people describe litter plastic bottles etc. Well the castle has provided loads of do not litter, pop in a bin signs but there will always be the mindless uncaring idiots who ignore this, don't let it distract you off visiting. It's an awesome feat of human achievement to the highest level & it has been there a 1000 years. The road 3 miles from the dual carriageway can be accessed from the dual carriageway in either direction despite what Google maps might show (I came from Kyrenia & turned right) & the road shows a few hairpin bends, again don't let this put you off, they are wide & easily driven. What more can I say except done let a visit pass you by if you are anywhere near. Allow 4 hours if you want to visit & photograph every nook & cranny! Hope the photos help you make the right decision, Go Go Go, it's awesome!

Well worth visiting, magnificent views, but you need to be reasonably fit to make the climb. You need good balance. Not for children under 12 yrs of age.

Worth a visit. Entrance cheap 1 eur. Takes 2 hours at least to see all, so don't expect to see and go quickly. Enjoy and feel. Lot of hiking - which is good, but even old people made it..

Beautiful. The hike to the top might be challenging for some people but well worth it for the fantastic views. Wear shoes with good grip. Probably our favourite spot on Cyprus.

Good beach for kids, nice sand and shallow water. Toilet is free, but shower cost 50cents. Almost no disturbance from people trying to sell you something.

Very good - this is a really safe beach for kids, with nice sand and fairly shallow water. The toilet is free (hurray) but the shower cost is about 50c. It can get quite crowded but the there is little hassle from people trying to sell you something. It can get really hot - so take or hire shade.

It's a wonderful beach. The location is perfect. There are restaurants, places to stay, and an amusement park nearby. It's a great beach for a family vacation.

No sand, only soil. Very dirty beach, not suitable for swimming or relaxing. Sunbeds are broken and in some places there are no umbrellas.

First beach in the closet proximity of Larnaca city center. Soft sand, clear water, and lot of restaurants with all the facilities. Public transport and intercity buses having stop here.

Central tourist area with many restaurants, big sandy beach and a nice promenade. Visit in the evening too.

Very dirty beach. People just leaving cigarettes on the sand. I've been here 6 years ago, it's nothing to compare. Please prohibit smoking on the beach and clean it. Uncomfortable sitting here.

From an architectural standpoint it’s a very pretty building and the interior is spectacular. I didn’t take any photos as I didn’t know if it was appropriate or not as it is an active church. But the paintings and reliefs inside are quite unique. And the building itself has a great history that’s interesting to learn about as someone who’s not tied to the Christian faith. The surrounding neighborhood is very quaint and has many good shops and restaurants/cafes.

This is amazing Church is a must visit if you are in the area. Beautiful structural architecture on the outside and inside to the amazing things you will see when you enter. If you can try and be covered up because there is a sign outside saying no shorts for men and women should ideally have their hair and shoulders covered but they do have robes for free on the outside to cover just in case you forget. Situated in the church are the most amazing icon pictures all over and the whole church is almost covered in gold. It is a particularly busy church with tourists in and out at all times. When you enter there is a lower two level where Lazarus bones used to be kept before they were moved, but his tomb still remains.

Hearing about this church and seeing some of the photos doesn’t really prepare you for the experience and history you are about to feel walking up to and inside this master of a monument. The outside is stunning, well preserved and sits on a lovely open space. When you enter it is very typical of a Greek church and lovely. Make sure you visit the tombs also under the church.

Travelled.fr9m.thw UK.for my friends wedding in this church. For me it will always be a place of great joy. It's a beautiful place to visit if you are in the area, just don't walk through the middle isle in yer t-shirts and flip flops when there are 250 of us in the .middle of a wedding ceremony lo

Beautiful church, very peaceful! We went there around at 1400 and it was closed. Advise to check the opening hours before you go. It opens in afternoon at 1530 but if you are there early, there are few souvenir shops that you can visit, enjoy lunch, take photographs, enough things to keep you occupied.

Visiting the Holy Church of Saint Lazarus was an unforgettable experience. I was deeply touched by the atmosphere and the spiritual energy of this sacred place. Bowing before the relics of Saint Lazarus filled me with peace and gratitude.

The holy church of Saint Lazarus in Larnaca is an old, lovely and holy church. It is a small church but beautiful from outside and inside. You can get inside the tomb as well.

It's beautiful, but it didn't leave a big impression. It's convenient if you don't want to/can't go up, there's a golf cart that takes you almost right to the temple, and it goes back and forth all day.

Amazing paintings and architecture. Everything inside and outside was spectacularly well preserved. Monastery lacks intimacy of other more hidden sites, but it makes it up by the scale of wealth and arts inside. There's 5 euro museum inside, we didn't go in, the "free" part was more than enough.

The nicest Monastery I have ever seen. 5Euro entrance but I would pay 20, it is so well kept and rich. Highly recommended.

Beautiful tranquil place. Long winding mountain roads to get there but definitely worth the trip. The mosaics and artwork are beautiful. There is a restaurant and tourist shops opposite the Monastry and a small snack/drink shop at the entrance. Robes are available, as you need to be covered to enter - no bare shoulders or shorts/short skirts for women. It is free to look around. There is a museum which costs 5€ per person (free for children 12 and under) which has a host of religious artefacts and further information about the Monastry and its formation.

I loved this place. The mosiacs were fabulous. There are many historical artifacts in the museum, ticket entry required. We'll worth taking the time to explore. When visiting, please remember it is a holy place and should be treated with reverence and respect. If you don't, expect to be shouted at or thrown out: Ladies, cover up exposed breasts, midriff, and thighs. Guys, wear a shirt or short sleeved tee shirt and long shorts or trousers. It was embarrassing to see this happen. And remember to respect the wishes of the monastery and not take photos inside the church.

Kykkos Monastery is truly an awe-inspiring destination, a magnificent testament to Orthodox faith and a must-visit for anyone traveling to Cyprus. Nestled high in the Troodos Mountains, it offers not just spiritual solace but also breathtaking vistas that stretch across the island's rugged beauty. From the moment you begin your ascent through the winding mountain roads, the journey to Kykkos Monastery is an experience in itself. As you reach its elevated position, said to be on one of the highest peaks, the air becomes crisp and the panoramic views are nothing short of spectacular. It's a truly amazing and breathtaking setting that instantly connects you with the serene and powerful presence of nature. For anyone with an appreciation for Orthodox Christianity, Kykkos Monastery is iconic. It is one of the wealthiest and most significant monasteries in Cyprus, renowned throughout the Orthodox world. Stepping inside, you are immediately enveloped in a rich tapestry of history, art, and devotion. The monastery is famed for its incredible collection of icons, particularly the miraculous icon of Panagia Eleousa (the "All-Merciful" Mother of God), which is believed to have been painted by St. Luke the Evangelist himself. While the main icon is traditionally veiled out of reverence, the sheer number and intricate beauty of the other icons, frescoes, and mosaics adorning the monastery's walls and chapels are simply stunning. The gilded woodwork and vibrant religious artwork create an atmosphere of profound spirituality and artistic grandeur. Beyond the main monastery, a short drive or walk uphill leads to the "Throni of Panagia," where a large statue of the Virgin Mary stands, and the tomb of Archbishop Makarios III, Cyprus's first president, who began his ecclesiastical career here. This spot offers even more expansive views and a deeper sense of the monastery's historical and cultural significance. Kykos Monastery is more than just a religious site; it's a cultural treasure that encapsulates the heart and soul of Cyprus. The sense of peace, the historical depth, and the sheer beauty of its location make it an unforgettable experience. Whether you are a devout follower, an art enthusiast, or simply seeking a place of profound beauty and tranquility, Kykkos Monastery will leave you with a lasting impression. It is truly awesome.

Kykkos Monastery is one of the most stunning and spiritually rich landmarks in Cyprus. Nestled in the Troodos Mountains, the monastery offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a deep sense of reverence and awe. The architecture is magnificent, blending traditional Byzantine design with intricate artistic detail. What truly stands out are the beautiful mosaics and paintings of the saints that adorn the walls and ceilings. Each image is rich in color and symbolism, telling stories of faith and devotion that span centuries. The charm and craftsmanship of these artworks are simply captivating. The monastery also houses a small but powerful museum filled with religious artifacts, ancient manuscripts, and priceless icons — including one believed to have been painted by St. Luke himself. The atmosphere is serene, and the sense of history is overwhelming. Whether you're religious or simply interested in culture and art, Kykkos Monastery is a must-visit. The drive up is scenic and peaceful, and the spiritual energy of the site leaves a lasting impression. It's a perfect place to reflect, admire, and connect with Cyprus' rich Orthodox heritage.

We came to the gardens for an event but arrived early so had a look around. We were pleasantly surprised as had heard some negative things. We enjoyed the drinks at the café. There were lots of drinks we had not seen before. It was very reasonably priced. It was lovely to see kids and families out together and mixing. We live in Paphos but would come again for sure. We parked on the street nearby.

Limassol Municipal Gardens is a lovely green escape in the city, with a nice playground for kids, a small zoo, and plenty of shady paths. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the cultural festivals held here from time to time, which add to its lively atmosphere.

Pretty small and not a great selection of animals although the others are great fun to watch! Took about an hour to take a steady walk round in the heat. It is cheap but i would save your money and visit Paphos zoo as there's are many more animals, shows etc.

I think this is the prettiest place in Limassol to have a quite walk and get out of heat/sand and beach. Enjoy it every time.

If you ever get the chance to go to the wine festival, do it. It was amazing. Food, wine (€2▪︎50 for a glass you get to keep plus you get to fill it with free wine)🍷 😉

It's a small and really really nice zoo. It aimed more for young kids with a nice amusement park near by.

We love this park. It's big with plenty of things for our child to play on and it caters for all different ages.
