Pirouniana Waterfall
A few meters after the beautiful Byzantine church of Saint George Hostos at Pirouniana, by village Agia Varvara we meet an unknown waterfall. The fall of Saint George is on the riverside path that leads to the deserted settlement Axenti today and shortly after a well-preserved watermill. The stream at that point creates a small waterfall 4 meters high. The area of the waterfall is surrounded by planes and other trees. Despite the relatively small height of the waterfall it is really beautiful and forms a small pond with water. The most impressive, however, is the rock color hues at the point where the water falls.
Church of Saint George Chostos at Pirouniana
Next to Axedianos River and close to settlement Pirouniana we meet the Byzantine church of Saint George Hostos. The original building had a dome and later it was extended. The part with the dome bears frescoes in poor condition.
The wider area is beautiful and the green Axedianos River creates a nice waterfall next to the temple till spring. The visitor gets impressed by the old watermill near the temple.
Panagia Kardiotissa
The church of Panagia Kardiotissa is located at the green position Panagia, in Agios Thomas village. It overlooks the river Axedianos and in winter waterfalls are formed at the edge of the churchyard, making it a unique landscape. Next there's an old watermill in very good condition next to the Venetian bridge that still crosses the river. The watermill is one of the 15 mills of Axedianos and has been restored.
The chapel was built in the 13th century in the place of an older temple (7th century), which in turn was possibly built on the site of an ancient temple. It was frescoed in the 14th century, but almost nothing survives from that era. The chapel came into foreground in 1912, when a woman saw an oracle and pointed where the icon of Saint George was buried. Due to the pilgrims arriving there, aShow More
