Chapel of Saint Georgios
Feast day: November 3 and April 23
According to the relief plaque with the cross on the outer southern wall, the chapel was built in 1860, it is thus contemporary with the chapel dedicated to the patron saint of the village of Athiainou, saint Fokas. Another inscription near the pulpit testifies that it was inaugurated on 31 October 1876 by Archbishop Sophronios. The chapel is single-aisled, with cross vaults and a semi-circular apse. It is built of local stone. The external buttresses extend along the entire height of its walls. The chapel has four entrances: three on the south side (one of which is in the apse) and one on the north. Apart from the window of the south side, there are clerestory windows. On the north wall, within a blind arch decorated with vine branches, saint Georgios is depicted on a horse with his lance, slaying a dragon. The elaborately carved, stone-built belfry at the south-east end of the chapel was built in 1929. The wooden doors are decorated in relief with plant, animal and geometric motifs. The chapel was renovated in 2005. It holds valuable icons from the 19th and 20th centuries. Its feast day is on the 3rd of November and on the 23rd of April.
