CHURCH OF YPAPANTIS

Lost in the middle of nature, the church of Ypapantis is painted in orange and ochre, and stands out among the green scrub of a magnificent olive grove. It is one of the most beautiful and oldest churches in Paxos. It was built in 1601 by two brothers, Adam and Vassilis. It is a two-aisle church with a magnificent marble iconostasis made in 1909 by a Corfu artist. This church is well worth a visit, especially for the magnificent view it offers. The church also became the seat of the bishop of Paxos in 1818.
