EPISKOPI (Settlement) IERAPETRA
The village of Episkopi is 7km north from Ierapetra. There is an architecturally
interesting Byzantine church in Episkopi--the church of Agios Georgios, on the
east side of the village square. The new church of the Panagia has a doorway and
columns taken from an older Byzantine church. Behind the church there are some
marble remains of the older church. The church of the Panagia was a bishopric
church during the second Byzantine period. Tradition says that it was named the
Panagia of Seven Domes because of its seven domes.
