In the area of Astratigos there is the Byzantine church of Michael Archangelos with attractive external door decorations, frescoes and an inscription of 1387. To reach it, go to the neighbourhood of Kalithea, on the road after Kakodiki, and turn left just after the village. The road takes you to the church of Michael Archangelos, which is beside the large modern church of the village. The priest has the key and his house is 200 metres beyond the church up the hill. Michael Archangelos contains fourteenth century frescoes and a beautifully carved altar screen. One of the wall paintings is a rare portrait of Michael Archangelos on horseback.
