Churches in Chora is a self-guided walking tour of the historic churches clustered within the main village of Kythnos, located on the island's central hilltop. The route links the Panagia Stratilatissa church, the oldest on the island, with the smaller chapels of Agios Savvas and Agios Ioannis, each with distinct Cycladic architecture. Visitors follow narrow stone alleys between whitewashed walls, with entry to most interiors possible during daylight hours.
What to expect
- The tour covers 5 churches within a 500-metre radius, taking roughly 1 hour at a relaxed pace.
- Panagia Stratilatissa houses a 17th-century icon of the Virgin Mary, a focal point for local pilgrims.
- Agios Savvas offers a small domed interior with original wooden iconostasis, accessible via a short staircase.
- The route includes the roofless ruins of Agios Georgios, where visitors see exposed fresco fragments on the apse wall.
- Suitable for walkers comfortable with uneven cobblestones and steep inclines; no entrance fees are charged at any church.
