Tips
The Church of Saint George in Perivolas (also known as the Church of Apanomeritis) is one of the most famous churches in Oia. It was built at the beginning of the 19th century. The church was almost completely destroyed by the earthquake of 1956 (elements of the interior have been preserved - including iconostasis, paintings, icons). In 1966-1967 it was rebuilt thanks to the efforts of Loukas Nomikos, a descendant of the family that built the original church. The monument with his bust is currently in the church courtyard.
