Leggi la storia

The church of Agios Georgios is located in the plane of Ano Viannos , on the road that leads to the Monastery of Agia Moni . It is a small vaulted and single-aisled church with its interior bearing frescoes of Ioannis Mousouros , dating back to the beginning of the 15th century (there is the date 1401).

The temple was built at the expense of Georgios Damoro . The exterior of the church hosts a tomb, and next to the church there are foundations of buildings.

Perhaps these bases were the cells of a small monastery that once operated here, probably as a dependency of Agia Moni for controlling the plateau of Viannos.
