Agios Vasileos, Xylokastro

Highlight • Religious Site

The church Panagia Faneromeni (Ekklisia Panagia Faneromeni) in Xylokastro was designed after the model of early Christian basilicas. It combines Byzantine elements with classical-ancient influences.

A striking, massive stone tower that significantly surpasses the actual church in height.

Today we started 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏻 later than planned 🗒️ because Engelbert had gotten a flat tire from a thorn in one of these dry plants. Luckily, a bike shop 🚴🏻 was only 200 meters from the hotel and quickly helped 🛞👍🏻.

Afterwards, we continued along the Corinth Canal – with spectacular views 👀 from the observation bridge!
