    Hiking

    The cave church of Panagia - to reach via a well-developed staircase.
    Christian hermits lived in the surrounding caves until the beginning of the 20th century.

    Hiking

    The Panagiá cave church is located at the entrance to the 2 km long Martsalos gorge and can only be reached on foot. The gorge ends at a picturesque palm beach on the Libyan Sea. There are still caves and hermit dormitories around the church. It is open and worth taking a look inside.
