The church of Agios Andreas

Located in the picturesque village of Peristera, this church is the only surviving building belonging to the dependency of the monastery of Agios Euthymios the “Later” (870 BC).
The church was built in 870 BC.
 

Only the doomed ground floor of the south wing and the underground buildings on the western side has been preserved.

The relics of the monastery’s founder, Saint Theonas, are kept in the catholicon.

 

Because the church was almost completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1932, it has to be rebuilt.

A wooden carved iconostasis from 1870 remained from the old church.
