ABOUT

Nestled in the picturesque village of Elos, beauty reveals itself at every turn.

Adjacent to the old aqueduct, within the village square, stands the church of St John the Theologian.

It is constructed in the style of a single-aisled arched roof and has been dated to the early 14th century based on its iconographies. The frescoes within are attributed to John Pagomenos. Frescoes depicting supplication, melodic elements involving the cooperation of hierarchs, the hospitality of Abraham, and images of saints both mounted and standing, are well-preserved.
