The Church of St. John (Lefkakia)
Last Updated on 27 February 2014
On the south side of the village "Lefkakia" springs this place of worship, a chapel, built on a small hill. Theories of it being erected on the tops of ancient fortress ruins of Argos or Ancient Assini have not been verified, for little information is gathered. |

It can be chronologically placed during the reign of the Turks in the Greek territory and as far as its architecture is concerned, it is a basilica structure with a tiled roof. The chapel's interior is an icon-painted one, but little is known of the artist or the date.Tradition has it that sick children are transported through a window on the north side, something considered miraculous. The exact location of the Holy Church can be tracked in the section: Map |
