Agia Thekla Church

Post-Byzantine church beside Agia Paraskevi, with wall paintings dated to 1767.

The story

Beside Agia Paraskevi, Agia Thekla forms part of a small religious ensemble near Markopoulo’s main square. Its eighteenth-century paintings are associated with a pupil of Georgios Markou. The compact, vaulted interior shows how much artistic ambition could fit inside a modest chapel. Visit the two neighbouring churches together to appreciate both their shared setting and their individual character.
