Panagia Zerviotissa (1)

Panagia Zerviotissa (Mother Mary of the Left Hand) (Stylos)

 

Just outside Stylos, within its citrus orchards, stands the 12th century church of Panagia Zerviotissa, also known as ‘Monastira’. This is a cruciform church with an eight-sided cupola and its floor plan echoes of a three-aisled basilica. Although hardly anything of the mural decorations have survived, the church is truly impressive.
