Chruch of Pera Panagia of Paros

The church of Pera Panagia is located a few kilometers east of the village of Marmara, a two-aisle basilica with vaulted narthex and a flat roof. Three arches connect the two aisles and are supported by ancient columns. The north is dedicated to the birth of Theotokos and the south to Agios Nikolaos. The little church was built on an idyllic site, with a tiled path lined by eucalyptus trees leading to the entrance, which is dominated by a lovely, marble, double-arched bell tower. The icon screen found in the church is carved of wood and gilded. The icon of Panagia Marmariani dates from the 17th century, but has been heavily restored.
