Akourdaleia Cave Church
Published 4th of September, 2022
The Actual Cave
Once we had finished with the Cave Church, we continued down the hill a short way, until we came to the actual cave. There is even a sign outside it telling you about it (I think).
Yes, It's A Cave
Without further ado we went in.
Inside
To be honest, I have seen better cave interiors. After the excitement of the cave church the cave itself was a bit of a let-down.
The Other Side
So if you do visit the area, I would park the car up by the church and explore those two buildings. You won't miss anything if you don't come in here.
Final View
Let's finish with another shot of the beautiful countryside. After we visited the church, we went exploring further into the hills, and had quite an adventure. But that is for another day...

The Murals of Agios Nikolaos
We've featured a lot of churches in our blogs. This is not surprising, as they are lovely building ornately decorated, and great places for quiet reflection on a hot summer's day. The more modern churches often have fantastic murals which take your breath away. But this is not a new tradition. A visit to the remote church of Agios Nikolaos, near Galataria, will show you that fully immersive church murals have been around for centuries...
Agios Georgios, Choulou
As you approach Choulou from Letymbou and the Ezousa Valley, you will pass a brown sign on your left indicating that the Church of Agios Georgios is down the next turn. If you have quarter of an hour to spare, drive down the road, at least until you get to the little church, and have a look,
Agios Charalambos
Let's take a little break from flowers. I know that Cyprus looks lovely in the Spring, and that it abounds with colour and life. But it' time to take a break. With the Polemi Tulip Festival fast approaching, and the knowledge that another road trip from Max is just around the corner too, I think we need to look at something without petals.
Agios Georgios, Universal
The upper reaches of the Universal Area of Paphos are steadily being developed. New estates seem are being constructed all the time. Yesterday, while driving through, we stopped by a church that had sprung up before any surrounding houses had been built. I went for a wander and this is what I found...Related Pages
MapAkourdaleia Cave Church
The countryside of Paphos holds many secrets. We found one of them while I was looking for potential gorges on Google Maps. Labelled as a Cave Church, a Church and a Cave, it was obvious that there was something worth investigating. So we set off to the area between Arodes and Akourdaleia, to see what we could find.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
