There are no translations available. Just 6 km from the main town, you will reach the region of Glinado, with a population of 700 inhabitants. The village is located on a rocky hill, from where you can see the main town, the deep blue sea and nearby islands. A beautiful temple, the Metamorphosis of Savior, is found between the villages of Galanado and Glinado, in the middle of a dell full of green, where the old district of Tzitzamos used to be. In a beautiful high spot, the temple of Agios Nikodemos was built. Northeast of the village, at the slopes of the hill, there is the temple of Agioi Saranta, surrounded from ruins of a small monastery that was lying there since 1834. The temple was built around 1656, with the voluntary donation of the local people. A large number of the churches icons are saved until today. Close to this location, the Naxians have built an aqueduct, in order to take water to irrigate their orchards, as well as thousands of hectares of land. |
