Cyprus


Kakopetria is a town in Cyprus located 55 kilometres (34 mi) southwest of the capital, Nicosia, on the north facing foothills of the Troodos Mountains. Kakopetria is surrounded by thick forestland and is built on the banks of the Kargotis and Garillis Rivers. The settlement of Kakopetria, although mentioned by the Mediaeval annalists, existed -at least -since the Frank domination era (Lusignan Period 1192–1489). Near Kakopetria there is church Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (greek Αγίος Νικολάος της Στέγης, Saint Nicholas of the Roof) which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with nine other Painted Churches in the Troödos Region.
