Just 20 minutes from the Cypriot city of Limassol, northeast of Limnatis, the ancient chapel of Saint Epiphanios is preserved, hidden in a ravine.
The chapel, although almost ruined, preserved remarkable frescoes from the 15th and 16th centuries. Due to its historical importance, it was placed under the auspices of the Department of Antiquities and in 1969 the damaged parts of the north and west walls were completed and its arch was also reconstructed.
In the surviving frescoes, one can distinguish the Platytera among Archangels, Hierarchs, Saint Stephen, the Apostle Paul, Saint Paraskevi and Saint George. On the hill above the chapel, a beautiful picnic area has been created, offering panoramic views of the area, giving additional reasons for a visit.
