Places near Church
In the south part of the island, in the region of Kipos, you will find another church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The diversity the church of Panaghia tou Kipou lies in the fact that it is the oldest church of the island. Built in Byzantine times (5th century), it is worth visiting it, not only because it is well-preserved and of an excellent architecture, but also so as to see one of the two fonts-vaptistiria that exist in the island, as well as pieces of a marble sarcophagus dated from the Hellenistic age.
