Add to favorites

According to tradition, the church of St. Basil was built on the spot where the icon of the saint was found. In the late 19th century, there was a high mortality rate in male children in the area. After the discovery of the icon and the building of the church, the mortality rate decreased.

The church is single-nave, barrel vaulted, with a stone aedicule that reads the date 1884. Inside, it is stone built up to the middle, while, on the arch, there is a supporting arc with finials. The iconostasis is built-in and is decorated with the icons of Vrefokratoussa (Infant Holder), Pantocrator (Almighty) and St. Basil.
