Ler a história

The almost deserted village of Panagia in the province of Kainourgiou near Moroni was named after the three-aisled Byzantine church of Panagia, which is dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God (Koimisis - celebrates on August 15th). It is believed that the church originally, in the 15th century, was the center of a religious complex or monastery, which over time evolved into the settlement of Panagia.
