The story tells that this beautiful blue domed church was build by five unmarried sisters and that each of them build one of the domes. A sign will show you off the main road pointing into a street, but after that it's endless searching because this is the only sign they have placed. The fact that I found this church after a ten minutes walk was pure luck. You might want to ask the locals for directions if you want to take a look at it yourself. You have to walk through streets with houses that are falling apart because it is a little bit outside the village center. Besides three Byzantine churches the village also has a lot of other nice churches. |
