The Chapel of Panagitsa i Retouniotissa (Greek: Παναγίτσα η Ρετουνιώτισσα) is a small church built into the rock. It is spectacularly situated on the slopes of the so-called Mavra Vouna (Black Mountains) and offers a sweeping panoramic view of the protected Strofylia Forest ecosystem and the Kalogria Lagoon.
The church is located above the Kotyhi-Strofilia Wetlands National Park, near Metochi and Kalogria.
It is a cave church, its front wall built directly against a small cave opening in the rock.
The local population has been making pilgrimages to this site for over 120 years.
