Holy Church of Panagia Iamatikis

On the outskirts of the community of Arakapas one encounters the religious complex of Panagia Iamatiki (the Healing), which was formerly a monastery katholikon. The historic original church stands out for its distinctive wooden roof and the rare interior wall paintings of Italo-Byzantine style that date from the early sixteenth century. Right beside it a larger, newer church has been erected, which houses a leather icon of the Theotokos unique of its kind with healing properties.
