Byzantine Churches
Frescos!
Agios Pavlos
Your sightseeing around the wider area of Paleochora and one day trips to the colourful villages that are spread all over Selino province, will offer you a unique chance to visit and admire the Christian temples of our region. The icon-paints and murals that adorn the old churches of Selino, remain in good condition, with images that, apart from the admiration for the technique, they submit the visitor-pilgrim to an introspection experience and spiritual awakening… The riches of the area in muraled temples, cannot be found in any other region of Crete! Plenty Byzantine churches, most of them constructed in 14th and 15th century, in every village you visit in Selino. The spread of the population in small isolated settlements and the normal outcome of constructing temples on each of these areas, have bequeathed our land a long and importand “list” with Byzantine and Early Christian churches!
Strong Theme!
he muraled temples of the region are above 100 and we mention sign of places where a large number of churches are gathered and you are able to visit. Starting from Paleohora and with direction to the west villages of Selino, you will meet many churches in Voutas area, in Sklavopoula, Sarakina and the wider area of Kundura. On the east part of our province, your sightseeing at villages like Anidri, Azogires, Prodromi, Rodovani, Kustogerako can be combined with visits to ?yzantine churches of the area. Going north to Vlithias, Kadros, Plemeniana and the wider area of Kandanos, you will have the chance to admire more indications of Christian worship and Byzantine icon-painting. Walk in peace…
