Tips
At the southwest edge of the castle of Koroni, the stone-built church of Panagia Eleistria was constructed in 1900 and still hosts most of the religious ceremonies of the town of Koroni. The views range across the open sea and the large beach of Zanga.
The church was inaugurated after the discovery of the Panagia Eleistria icon in 1897 by an old woman in Koroni, who had been dreaming for 15 years that Virgin Mary was showing her where to find the three small icons: the Crucified, the Theotokos (Virgin Mary) and the Saint Loukas. johnsanidopoulos.com/2014/01/the-holy-shrine-of-panagia-eleistria-in.htmlMarch 27, 2021
