Agios Markos

Is a village which must be visited. It is on the threshold of desertion due to a landslide, and its old houses are overgrown with the passage of the years. The Church of the Pantokrator dates from 1576 and contains frescoes of the same period. Located near the village, the Church of St. Merkourios is, after the Church of St. Jason and St. Sosipatros in Anemomylos, the most exceptional Byzantine monument on the island. Its rare frescoes date from 1075 and reveal the true spirit of Byzantium in the economy of their lines and in the expressiveness of the gaze of the depicted saints.
