From this village begin the crossroads that will lead you to the beaches of Plaka, Kastraki and Alyko. The name of the village comes from an ancient tripod stand, which was found in archaeological excavations. A traditional village, with marble paved streets and snow-white houses, picturesque windmills and natural springs, along with a beautiful and spacious square, where many events take place during the festive days of the year. The temple of Koimiseos of Theotokos (Assumption) celebrates on the 23rd of August. The temple belongs to a ruined monastery, which was erected before 1625. Today, the courtyard and some of the cells of the monastery, are still in a very good condition. The interior of the church demonstrates the intensive care of the villagers. It has a beautiful carved iconostasis with icons from different epochs, of remarkable artistry and value. |
