A wreath from Heaven

The church of Μary Krinas was built in the 12th century, located in the rural region of Vavili in central Chios. In the place where the temple was built a spring with plenty of water, giving rise to the name of the monument, "Krina".

The elegant Byzantine chapel stands in the desert and dense groves, adorned with ornate arches, arched windows, exquisite art!

In the starry sky the constellation Corona Borealis covers the dome of the church deserved the glory of the Byzantine Church!
