CHURCH
OF PANAGITSA
RETOUNIOTISSA

In Mavra Vouna at an elevation of 650 meters stands the Church of Panagitsa tin Retouniotissa, which offers breathtaking views. Visitors can enjoy wonderful panoramic vistas of Strofilia Forest, Prokopos Lagoon and Kalogria Beach.

The construction of the church, which dates back to 1898, was carried out by the rancher Georgios Alexandropoulos. It’s said that he discovered an icon of the Virgin Mary, an object originally from Areti in Ilia, on that very spot following a vision. Ever since then, the faithful have climbed up to the church to pray before that icon.
