AGIA IRINI (Settlement) ANATOLIKO SELINO
The gorge is 8km long and 45-500 metres deep, in a forested area with
steep mountain cliffs, and is easy to walk. In 1866, 1,000 women and children
escaped from the Turks through this gorge.
TEMENIA (Village) ANATOLIKO SELINO
Near Temenia, there is the interesting Byzantine church of Sotiras
Christos. The church is a single-aisled church, but with a large narthex at the
front, which has the architectual style of a cruciform church with a dome. The
church has blind arches which give it better support and more drawing space for
the frescoes, which are from the sixteenth to seventeenth century. The church
is outside the village, at the foot of the hill of the ancient city of Yrtakina,
on a right hand turning from Temenia to Sougia. The trees that surround the church
are visible from the main road.
