In Therisso, within the village square and under the shade of a towering plane tree, lies the Church of Panagia.

This sacred site also houses the tomb of the hero Stefanos Chalis, who valiantly fought between 1820 and 1822, ultimately succumbing in the battle that unfolded in Aliaki on 25^th July 1822.

Every August, the village comes alive with a grand festival. Therisso hosts a joyous celebration featuring Cretan music and an array of delectable local dishes.
