The church of Agios Georgios is a three-aisled church with a narthex subdivided into three spaces. The church has supporting blind arches. Apparently it also had a fourth aisle in the past. There are also frescoes in Agios Georgios presently being restored. There are two unusal frescoes of huge hands holding scripture in the apses. The church is in the east end of the village and there is a sign to it in the platia.
