Pantanassa, Amari: Welcoming You with an Icon of the Virgin Mary

Situated at an altitude of around 400 metres, at the foot of Mount Katsonisi and to the west of the Veni Plateau, lies the picturesque settlement of Pantanassa.

Most of its residents are shepherds and farmers.

There was once a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary Pantanassa in the area. According to the Municipality of Platanias, the original church was destroyed, and in its place now stands the newer church of the village, where a portable icon of the Virgin Mary Pantanassa dominates the entrance.

Stroll through the narrow alleys of the village and enjoy authentic meze at the kafeneio in the central square.
