Also referred to as Panagia of Aphendrika. Ruined and rebuilt church on the site of rock-cut tombs of the classical age. The first church, built in the 400s or 500s but certainly before 649, was renovated with stone vaults in the 700s. After this fell into ruins, the current building was constructed in the nave of the old building, probably in the 1500s.
