The beautiful church of Panagia is the most famous church of Folegandros island, Cyclades. It is located on a fabulous spot above Chora offering an excellent view to the island and the sea. A stone zigzag path starts from Pounda Square Chora and goes up to the church in about 15 min walk.
This church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and was possibly constructed on the ruins of an ancient temple. In fact, marble parts of this temple were used as building material for the church and visitors can see ancient inscriptions and bases of statues in the interior and the courtyard of the church. The exact year of the construction of the church is not known. However, a marble sign says that it was renovated in 1687 and it took its present form in 1821.
The architecture of the church is traditional Cycladic and the exterior is whitewashed. This is a one-aisle basilica with many domes and a tall bell-tower. The interior has fine frescoes, a marble throne for the archbishop and a marble icon screen. In the past, the church was the katholikon of a female monastery.
The silver icon of Virgin Mary inside the church is believed the be miracle-working. The legend says that in 1790, 18 boats of Algerian pirates were about to get ashore. The desperate residents of Folegandros went to the church to pray for their lives to Virgin Mary when a strong northern wind blew and sank all the boats of the pirates, of whom all got drown. Since then, the locals consider Virgin Mary the protector of their island.

Tourism Destinations 2021 - Guardian: Δέκα ελληνικοί προορισμοί για διακοπές μετά την πανδημία
Tumblr media
Η Ελλάδα είναι η λέξη στα χείλη όλων και οι ηλιόλουστες παρα��ίες της θα μας καλωσορίσουν σύντομα. Όλα αυτά τα μέρη προσφέρουν μια γεύση του αληθινού ελληνικού πολιτισμού...... Η βρετανική εφημερίδα Guardian εξυμνεί για μία ακόμη φορά την ελληνική ομορφιά, προτείνοντας 10 ειδυλλιακούς προορισμούς της χώρας μας για διακοπές μετά την πανδημία Κατάλογο με τους ελληνικούς προορισμούς που προσφέρονται για διακοπές μετά την πανδημία, καθώς δεν συγκεντρώνουν μαζικά πλήθη τουριστών, δημοσιοποίησε η εφημερίδα Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2021/mar/13/10-best-crowd-free-greek-islands-greece-coastlines. Σύμφωνα με την λίστα της Guardian, στην πρώτη θέση βρίσκεται το κυκλαδίτικο νησί της Άνδρου, ενώ την δεύτερη θέση καταλαμβάνει η ειδυλλιακή Εύβοια. Η λίστα περιλαμβάνει και άλλες ενδιαφέρουσες προτάσεις για το φετινό καλοκαίρι. Σε σχετική ανακοίνωση ο αντιδήμαρχος Τουρισμού του νησιού, Νίκος Μουστάκας, σημειώνει ότι οι νέες ταξιδιωτικές τάσεις που τείνουν να επικρατήσουν λόγω της πανδημίας αναδεικνύουν σε πρώτο πλάνο τις ειδικές μορφές τουρισμού, την αυθεντική φιλοξενία, τη φύση και τις εξατομικευμένες τουριστικές υπηρεσίες. Αναλυτικά, η λίστα της εφημερίδας Guardian: Άνδρος Εύβοια Γαλαξίδι Φολέγανδρος Λέρος Κύθηρα Αστυπάλαια Σύρος Πήλιο Μάνη Read the full article
