Panagi Kanala was named after a church by the same name and dedicated
to the Panagia (Virgin Mary), the island's patron saint. It is located 16 kilometers
southeast of Hora and is bordered by the island's only pine forest. The church,
one of the Cyclades' loveliest and best made, houses the thaumaturgic icon of
Panagia, a wonderful example of post-Byzantine art.
