Kakopetria Attractions

 
The village of Kakopetriá is one of the most beautiful in the Troodos range, cascading down both sides of the Troodos valley. In the center of the village is a large square surrounded with local restaurants and shaded by tall trees.

The old quarter of the village, with its traditional houses, has been declared a protected area.

Yet the village is very accommodating to tourists, with numerous hotels, restaurants and even night clubs.

Although the most famous church associated with Kakopetria is Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis, there are also several other beautiful churches within the village. The small 16th century church of Panagia Theotokos, off the main road, has retained about half of its murals. The church of Agios Georgios Perachoritis has some very original wall paintings belonging to the first quarter of the 16th century.
