Geographical data

Sights
  • The church of Agios Kosmas and Damianos, in the northern part of the settlement.
  • The church of Agia Paraskevi, in a wooded ravine, on the site of an older Byzantine church that pre-existed there and was destroyed. The remains of the older building still exist and have been incorporated into the new one, such as small parts of the Byzantine hagiographies with which the original church was decorated. The existence of these hagiographies helps in the dating of the first temple, probably before the 17th century.
  • The small gorge of the settlement.
