This old church is a small treasure that alone justifies the walk to this quiet town. Away from the madding crowd, in the most authentic area of the island where you can still "hear" the whispers of old Greek legends.
Hardly anyone can be found here during the week. Beautifully laid out “streets” or paths. Beautifully decorated buildings stand between dilapidated houses.It was not possible to view the inside.
You can do it, but you don't have to. However, you can see beautiful landscapes along the way.
Here I don't actually give the 5 stars directly for the basilica, but rather for the route to it. You have fantastic views of the coast on this route. Anyone interested in places of worship will of course get their money's worth in the basilica. I recommend driving further into the mountains from the basilica to the town of Mesanagros. There is a kind of kiosk/tavern on one corner that invites you to linger
