Panagia Megalomata

The wild natural beauty of Tsagarada is complemented by the little church of Panagia Megalomata. You can access it by boat from the sandy beach there. It is not a common church but a cave dedicated to Mother Virgin.

The cave is simply decorated with only one icon of Mother Virgin. According to a legend that icon was the only company of a monk living there in the middle of a big rock in 1668. Nearby was also the “Krifo Scholio” where this monk used to teach children how to read and write.
