The Monastery itself is lovely if poorly maintained .
On the day we visited the museum was shut so I cannot comment on that. I thought it both sad and disrespectful that there was no protection from the many birds that seemed to live in this former church. Many of the icons were splattered with bird poo which is damaging their painted surface. It was in total contrast to the many former churches now mosques that we visited later on in Famagusta which are lovingly cared for.

Well worth the cheap entry fee. lots of artefacts dating back to thousands of years BC, a small cafe inside to get a drink.

Old monastery with a large collection of very interesting icons. Quite crowded when we were there. Cafe, souvenir stalls.

Dedicated to the patron saint of Cyprus, it is well worth going if only to see the artefacts on display in the museum. Some dating back to the 7 century BC

museum collection good, though display is tired and poor detail explaining items. Cafe not great and had to pay for dirty smelly toilet

Interesting to see the many old paintings housed in the monastery. Small place but peaceful and pleasant to visit. Visit may only take an hour.

We were a group of travellers from Canada, and crossed into the Northern Occupied territory on our trip to Famagusta. Our first stop was St Barnabas Monastery, where the tomb of St. Barnabas was found. On his chest was the gospel of St. Matthew in Barnabas’ own handwriting. He had come on the boat with St. Paul to teach Christianity to the people of Cyprus.
Around the area there were 84 other tombs but after the occupation they stopped excavating, When the Muslims took over the north they changed all the churches into Mosques, stables or concert venues. The St. Barnabas Monastery was left alone by agreement with the occupying forces because there were three monks still in attendance. This is only one of two left untouched in the now Muslim territory.

We were visiting Famagusta and Salamis, so this was a worthwhile short stop. We were the only visitors present (it was winter) but even then there were locals trying to sell us various trinkets - they wasted their time. The building and contents were well preserved, possibly helped by the jet black cat that chose to visit with us, and left it's good luck there. There are one or two areas that have suffered from the damp, such as the mural of the Orthodox priests. There is plenty of room and it is well laid out. The steps down to the crypt/tomb are uneven and the ceiling is low, but there is a certain atmosphere once you have reached the bottom.

I'm not one to complain but I washed my bald head with the water from the magic fountain in the end wall and my hair has still not grown back.
Seriously though the story is good and the history is there but a 10 minute visit will see you all around the site. It is ancient and there is a well painted icon wall but it is only one of several in the area.

Hello!How much is it to enter this premises?
נכתבה בתאריך 18 בפברואר 2020
Sorry but cannot answer exactly as it was all included in our tour price.
I did however get the feeling that all of the attractions that we visited would only be a couple of euros each to enter as everything was quite affordable.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. There are some flat paved areas that should be suitable.
