About this experience

Churches in Askeli is a guided tour of the historic Orthodox churches clustered along the coastal village of Askeli on Poros island. The activity covers three active places of worship, including the 19th-century Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, each with its own iconostasis and local congregation. Visitors walk between sites on flat streets, with the tour lasting roughly 90 minutes and ending at the waterfront chapel of Agios Nikolaos.
