At the entrance to the village of Paleo Perithia you will be welcomed by the beautiful church of Agios Iákovos O Pérsis. The church dates back to the 14th century and was very carefully restored in 2014 and repaired. On a guided tour, you can also admire the magnificent frescoes in the interior.

We would have liked to have seen the church of Agios Iákovos O Pérsis from the inside during our visit to the ghost village today. However, the building was locked.

Unfortunately, the entrance gate was locked when we visited.
