The impressive fresco which decorates the dome depicts the “All Powerful” surrounded by the Archangels, the Prophets and numerous saints. The gothic church of St George is located next to the metropolitan church in the main square of Paralimni. According to a marble inscription, it was erected in 1859 in the place of an older Byzantine church, parts of which have been incorporated in this one. Part of its northern wall is covered with a large fresco depicting St George killing a dragon.

Bali is dotted with temples—some perched on cliffs, others floating on lakes, or tucked deep in the jungle. These sacred sites aren’t just places of worship; they’re woven into daily life, rich in tradition, ceremony, and stunning scenery. Here's a list of the temples worth visiting in Bali, whether you're after spiritual insight or just an unforgettable view. 1. Tirta Empul Temple Visit Tirta Empul to see the holy spring where locals come for purification rituals. It’s a chance to witness—or join—a unique Balinese tradition centred around water. 2. Uluwatu Temple (Pura Luhur Uluwatu) Perched high on a sea cliff, Uluwatu offers some of the best sunset views on the island. Stick around for a proper local experience, the Kecak dance at dusk. 3. Ulun Danu Beratan Temple Float over to Ulun Danu Beratan, a serene temple sitting on Lake Beratan. It’s dedicated to Dewi Danu, the water goddess, and the cool mountain air adds to the peaceful vibe. 4. Goa Gajah Temple (Elephant Cave) Step into Goa Gajah for its mysterious cave entrance and detailed stone carvings. The nearby ancient bathing pools make it clear this spot was important centuries ago. 5. Saraswati Temple (Pura Taman Saraswati) Dedicated to the goddess of wisdom and arts, swing by Saraswati Temple in Ubud to see the pretty lotus ponds and elegant carvings. 6. Tanah Lot Head to Tanah Lot for one of Bali’s most famous sea temples. Sitting on a rocky outcrop in the ocean, it’s especially popular at sunset. 7.
