Overview

 

 

 

Agios Markos: is a village which must be visited. It is on the threshold of desertion due to a landslide, and its old houses are overgrown with the passage of the years. The Church of Pantokrator dates from 1576 and contains conteporary frescoes. Located near the village, the Church of Agios Merkourios is, after the church of Saint Jason and Sosipatros in Anemomylos, the most exceptional Byzantine monument on the island. Its rare frescoes dating from 1075 reveal the true Byzantine spirit in the temperance of their lines and in the way they expresses the gaze of the depicted saints.
