Take ten minutes of your day and look in this small church. The light through the windows is beautiful and the setting is serene.
The church existed before the Venetian rule (16th century) and is one of the most important orthodox churches of Nafplion as many great historical events took place here. Many funerals of heroes of the Greek revolution took place here as well as that of the first Governor of Greece, Ioannis Kapodistrias. The first King of Greece, Otto would visit the church on Sundays and go to the liturgy. His throne is still in the church. The Venetian influence is obvious in the iconography of the church.
We were lucky to see this church in the late evening. The ligth inside were only candles. So nice!
A church with a beautiful interior, it feels as if you can relax and be safe while meditating on important issues. The atmosphere is of quiet dignity and service to the Highest Authority.Please visit when you get the chance
Enter the church and move to another timen another era: the church is a mystical cave, filled with incense, candles and strange ex voto. You may see the lady in charge, a dark vision of a old crippled guardian of this temple.
Try to pickup a wedding ceremony in and arround this church.Like every othodox church, this churc is devoted to the holy Georg. The painting, devotion is very imprssive.
Это обычная церковь каких по всей Греции великое множество. Можно взглянуть, если окажитесь рядом гуляя по узким улочкам Напфлиона, но специально искать это место не стоит.
Nafplion / Navplion caters for a variety of tastes, ruines, cafes, restaurants and churches. Something for everybody. Ayios Georgios is an exceptional church with full of history and a must see on your list. Pop in and light a candle regardless of your religious beliefs.
I've never been inside a Greek Orthodox church before and this was quite an eye opener. Interesting to see how GO churches are laid out and the decorative nature of their ceilings and walls. Incredibly chandeliers!
πέσαμε πάνω σε Χαιρετισμούς. κατάνυξη, υπέροχες τοιχογραφίες και αίσθηση ψυχικής ανάτασης. Εκεί ακούσαμε μία από τις ωραιότερες αποδόσεις του Υπερμάχω Στρατηγώ
