Church of Ayia Marina

Church of Ayia Marina

The post-Byzantine church of Ayia Marina is situated in the Macedonian Tempi valley, at the 75th mile of the old national road Thessaloniki – Kavala route, a short distance from Stavros.

The traveller is compelled to pause for a pilgrimage as soon as he sees the slate-covered Byzantine dome.

In addition to its unparalleled beauty, the church is renowned for its healing powers. People from all across Greece swear that their problems have been resolved since they prayed here.

The inscriptions also state that the Modi people constructed the small chapel with its unique and unusual style in the middle of the 18th century, which makes it their pride.
