Hiking

Treasure chest in red and yellow, directly attached to a previous church from the 14th century. The associated parking lot is also a good starting point for the hike through the Sarakina Gorge and further up to Zoúrva.

Hiking

Beautiful church in an absolutely breathtaking setting. Actually, there are two churches, but the older and much smaller one (Ι.Ν. Κοίμησης της Θεοτόκου) is often overlooked. But here too, the doors are unfortunately locked. The old drinking fountain is also worth seeing. Addendum 2026, Sunday morning both churches are open.
