Paraportiana Orthodox Church

This church dates back to the middle of the 15th century. The name Paraportiani comes from the word ‘porta’, which means ‘door’. Originally, the church was built next to the entrance of a Medieval castle, which has been destroyed. The building actually consists of a group of smaller churches into one. Because they were completed over time, you can find a mixture of different styles like Byzantine, Traditional and Western.
