Churches

Through the Pelion area there are churches, monasteries and settlements scattered like special decorations. They all are worth visiting. In most churches you will see beautiful icons and works of art made by the famous artist Theofilos and the sculptor Nikos. Their architecture is also typical of Pelion.
In almost all of the churches you can admire the wooden carved screens, distinctive works of art of a very particular style which will definitely fascinate you. It is also worth spending some time on finding out about the history background of each church as most of them used to be the beacons for many revolutions and liberation struggles of our nation.
