Please join us for a guided walk that will takes us to three historic Paxos churches normally closed to the public: Agios Georgios in Veliantatika, Profitis Ilias and Pantokratoras in Makratika.

 

Akis Papadoatos, principal restorer of church icons and mural paintings of Paxos churches, will relate to us the history of the churches, of their paintings and architecture. Chris Boïcos will be translating his remarks into English and into French.
