Profitis Ilias
Βρίσκεται στὴν κορυφὴ τοῦ βουνοῦ Ἀνατολικά του χωριοῦ. Ὁ Ναὸς ποὺ εἶναι σταυροειδὴς μετὰ τρούλου χτίστηκε τὸ 1950 στὴν θέση μικροῦ Ναοῦ. Ἐκεῖ ὑπῆρχε κελὶ ὅπου διέμενε παλιὰ ἀσκητής με το ὄνομα Ἀνανίας, τά λείψανά τοῦ ὁποίου βρίσκονται στον αὔλειο χῶρο τοῦ ναοῦ σε ὀστεοφυλάκιο. Ἔχει δύο Θυσιαστήρια. Το ἕνα τιμᾶται στον προφήτη Ἠλία και το δεύτερο στην ὕψωση τοῦ Τιμίου Σταυροῦ. Ἡ Θ. Λειτοργία στό κλίτος τοῦ Τιμίου Σταυροῦ γίνεται την 1η Αὐγούστου. Ὁ δρόμος πού ὀδηγεί στο ναό περνάει μπροστά ἀπό τον ναό τῆς Κοιμήσεως, και ἀκολουθεί χωματόδρομος. Τό Πανηγύρι τοῦ Προφήτη Ἠλία εἶναι τό μεγαλύτερο τῆς Ἐνορίας μας καί τό βάδυ τῆς ἐορτῆς γίνεται κρητικό γλέντι στήν πλατεία τοῦ χωριοῦ.
