👍👍 DO NOT GO VIA GOOGLE RECOMMENDED ROAD!!! Follow the “official” road which starts between Myrina and Thanos with the brown table! Then you have approximately 3 km of dirt road and then starts climbing with stone stairs for about 2,5 km - 20-30 minutes of climbing/walking. At the end the chapel is rea...

Little by little he did build that church hauling all his equipment and tools by boat since in those days, ar...

👍 Relatively newly built little church with a wonderful view of the sea and the sunset. The interior of the church is richly decorated and houses beautiful mosaics and excellent paintings. The ceiling painting was designed very elaborately. The forecourt should be decorated accordingly.
