The church of Agia Triada (= The Holy Three) was built by the Metropolitan
Ioannikio around 1724 in the place of an older church. The church was destroyed
by the Turks in 1770 after the Turkish - Russian war and started to be re-built
with a slow pace from 1835 with donations from the local people and those that
had migrated to Egypt. The required wood came in 1865 from Odysso, a donation
from a Lemnian ship captain. The iconostasis is wooden-carved and full of byzantine
icons. On the right side of the iconostasis is a icon of Agia Triada. Most of
the icons are painted around the middle of the 18th century but older ones are
also found
