A beautiful Greek Orthodox Church on top of a hill with stunning views. The Church itself is small but contains some interesting icons. One of them is the Madonna and child brought here from Constantinople (Istanbul) many years ago and similar to the one taken to Bologna in Italy from the Haggia Sofia church also in Istanbul.

The well-known Zoodochos Pigi Church in the picturesque village of Bochali is an important religious and historical destination, appreciated for its architecture and spectacular views.
The church houses a valuable icon of the Virgin Mary, covered in silver, which is said to date back to 848 AD. Parts of the temple, such as the carved wooden base, come from the older 16th-century Chrysopigi church, which was once located in the nearby castle.
The building shows distinct Venetian influences, typical for the Ionian Islands. Inside, the white and gold altar, as well as colorful frescoes, are impressive.
