Just before you enter the village a small road to the left leads to the Byzantine monastery of the Panagia Gouverniotissa and the Byzantine church of Afentis Christos (there is a fallen sign).
You first see the chapel of Afentis Christos on the right of the road. It is a small, single-roomed church and contains some frescoes.
The keys for both churches are held by the custodian of the church of the Panagia Gouverniotissa.
