| On
the road to Sougia you pass the village Moni in the Selino district.
The village has only approximately 50 inhabitants. |
|
 |
On
the outskirts of the village there is an old Agios Nikolaos church from 1315. |
|
|
|
|
|
| The
church is decorated with frescoes by the well-known painter Ioannis
Pagomenos, who in the period
1314-1347 decorated several churches in the area and on the Apokoronas
peninsula, for instance the Agios Georgios church at Komitades (1314),
the Agios Georgios church in Anydroi (1323), the Michael Archangelos
church in Kavalariana close to Kandanos
(1328), the Panagia church in Veilitika close to Kakodiki (1332), the Panagia
church in
Skafida close to Rodovani (1347), the Panagia church in Alikambos on the
Apokoronas peninsula (1316) and the Agios Nikolaos church in Maza (1326),
where he besides is buried. |

 |
Outside
the church is a small bell tower. |
|
|
|
|
|
| East
of the village - not far away from the outlet of the Agia Eirini gorge -
there is a Panagia Kera church with an impressive bell tower. |
|
 |
The
tower was built in the beginning of the 19th century. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Besides the unusual tower,
which in itself is worth seeing, you
should also admire the beautiful, carved wooden iconostasis inside
the church. |
