The church is a beautiful, well-preserved Byzantine building from the 13th century, with a pair of striking mosaic icons. It was built in 1283 by Ioannis Angelos Komninos Doukas, a few hundred meters west of Pyli, across the bridge over the Portaikos river. If you find the gate locked, look nearby for the priest. He’s very kind and polite and will open it for you. There are three other lovely sights close by: the hanging gate bridge of Pyli, 200 m east; the stone bridge Pyli Trikala, 500 m west; and the arch bridge waterfall of Paleokaria, 7 km west.

A lovely 13th-century church. The caretaker seemed a bit grumpy at first, though it was fine after that. It’s a perfect place to visit after crossing the hanging bridge.

The setting is beautiful, and so is the church. The caretaker was really friendly, and the spoila is amazing. Make sure to see the mosaics in the iconostasis.

It’s a beautiful church and well worth a stop. The caretaker takes real pride in decorating the interior, even though ceremonies can’t be held there at the moment. Entry is €2.00 p.p. Afterwards, I recommend an easy walk by the river. Cross the 16th-century stone bridge, return on the opposite bank, and come back over the old hanging bridge. It’s about 4 km, or an hour.

The church is extremely well preserved, and the local gentleman who showed us around was excellent. Bring a jacket on cold days, as it’s chilly inside.
