The Horseman of Agios Thomas
ABOUT
A rock that doesn’t scare the villagers—on the contrary, it fascinates them!
This isn’t something you come across every day. Some even say it’s a miracle.
We’re talking about the rock known as "O Kavalaris", as the locals call it.
In the beautiful and unique village of Agios Thomas, in the municipality of Gortyna, tradition links this rock to Saint George the Horseman.
Locals say that Saint George protects the village and somehow makes these rocks balance perfectly, posing no threat to anyone's safety.
