About this experience

Churches in Souvala is a self-guided tour of the historic churches scattered around the port village of Souvala on Aegina island. Visitors walk between whitewashed chapels and Byzantine-era buildings, each with its own local story and iconography. The route suits travellers interested in religious architecture and quiet coastal history.

What to expect

Visit the 19th-century Church of the Dormition of the Virgin, the main parish church with a carved wooden iconostasis and gilded icons.
See the small chapel of Agios Nikolaos on the harbour, where fishermen light candles before sailing, and observe its blue-domed roof.
Walk 15 minutes uphill to the ruined Byzantine church of Agios Ioannis, which retains fragments of frescoes from the 13th century.
Tour includes a printed map with a numbered route of 6 churches, plus a short written history for each site in English and Greek.
Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the full circuit, with uneven stone paths and a moderate climb to the upper chapels.
Suitable for adults and older children interested in Orthodox church customs, local folklore, and pre-20th-century building techniques.
