Kardakiotissa

This historic and picturesque country chapel is located about one kilometre north-west of Alona, built beside the old path that connected the community with Nicosia. It is a small, single-aisled timber-roofed basilica that rises at the foot of a hill and functioned over time as a spiritual refuge for the travellers of the area. Although the original structure suffered total destruction by a large fire in 1987, the church was fully rebuilt and restored with respect to its original form. Because of its very limited dimensions, the site is not suitable for sacraments, but it is a very beautiful mountain sight.
