St. John Alitiougretos Church


The church is located in the eastern part of the peninsula. According to legend, the church is not sanctified at all (hence its name - "alliturgetos" is "unlit" in Greek). During construction, one of the builders fell down and was killed. At the same time, according to some sources, worship services were held in the church.
