Ler a história

The temple of Panagia Faneromeni is located in a wooded location of the village Kerasia, on the sides of the beautiful gorge of Kerasia (continuation of the gorge of St. Anthony).

The view around is really unique. The current temple was built on the site of a ruined Venetian church in 1914.

It has two aisles, dedicated to Virgin Mary and Saint Anthony. The place was a shelter for the residents of Kerasia during the 1941 bombing by the Germans against British targets.
