Virgin Mary Pantanassa

The church of the Virgin Mary (Panagia) Pantanassa is Arki’s oldest church. It is located high above the settlement, one kilometer northeast of the port. To get there, we start by heading north on the island’s only paved road. After 500 meters, we turn right toward the church, which we reach after another half kilometer. From this elevated point, we can see the whole bay and the harbor, as well as most of the settlement. The island’s school used to be near the church.
