Churches

ABOUT

The church of the Holy Apostles is situated on the western boundaries of the small settlement of Kato Episkopi, likely the seat of the Diocese of Sitia during the second Byzantine period.

It is a tripartite building with a dome.

As revealed during recent restoration works, the building was initially a bath, similar in form to the one in Episkopi of Ierapetra. In the 15th century, with minor modifications, the bath was converted into the Church of the Holy Apostles.
