The church of Panagia is bult at the top of a rock cliff, you have to come up 114 scales to reach the top, but it's definitely worth it. The view from up there is also spectacular.
We have visited here several times when coming to Petra. This year was made more special as we have lost a few friends and wanted to light candles. The climb was difficult in places but the views are Amazing. I would advise people to do this early morning before it gets too hot and take water with you.
The views of Petra are great and the church is very grand. No dislikes apart from needing a bit more puff at the top.
a must see for everyone who can climb those stairs...lovely view ! And if you're lucky, there is a wedding or baptism going on there...
114 steps! not too bad if you go when its cooler! church is open for you to look inside, but legs and shoulders have to be covered to be respectful, if not don't go in!
the climb up the 114 steps, to this beautiful little church can be a little hard for the elderly or those with mobility issues, but the church is beautiful and the views of Petra town from the top are amazing.this church stands out in Petra, you can see it from anywhere in town.for me it was a must see when i visited this town.i highly recommend it.
The church on the rock is a lovely place. It's just a bit of a problem to get to as it is on top of the volcanic plug at the centre of the village of Petra on Lesvos. So, if you are keen to go, go early in the morning as it's too hot later in the day and treacherous after dark.The church itself is lovely inside and much lighter than many Orthodox buildings. The iconostasis is well carved and the icons and lights are lovely.The priest is a very welcoming man and happy for people to attend services.
There is nothing to dislike. It is a must visit. Worth the little climb to the top as the views are spectacular. Inside is also just as beautiful.
Romantic place in the evening also in day light. Nice wiev. Also nice dominanz of the Petra I liked to see iz from our balcony
My nameday is celebrated on the 15th of August so on the eve of, when on the island of Lesvos, we head to this fabulous chapel. My husband proposed to me after we climbed the 100+ steps 8yrs age...... re-visiting this year was still as surreal and as romantic! The Virgin Mary of the Sweet Kiss, sunset and proposal - cannot get more romantic!
