Full description
Surp Krikor Lusavoriç is an Armenian church on Kınalıada, the island closest to the city in the Princes' Islands group. Visitors describe a still-active church in a quiet, solemn setting, and warn that the road up is very steep, so be prepared for a real uphill walk.
Few people tend to be there, which adds to the peaceful atmosphere. Opening days are limited and Monday and Saturday are listed as closed, so check before you go.
A visit inside is short, around 15 minutes.

Looks like a historic place. Church is still functioning. The heel is quite steep, be prepared.
