One of the characteristic features of the small island of Santorini (Thira) is the many churches with white-washed walls and feature blue cupola and Ekklisia Panagia Platsani in Oia, the small village perched atop a craggy cliff, with incredible views of the deep blue sea and surrounding islands, is one of these.

Ekklisia Panagia Platsani is the main church in Oia and is located in Caldera Square, the center of the village and is the place of annual celebrations such as Easter when lanterns are placed all around the village and its churches and buildings.

This church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is a traditional Greek Orthodox church. We would have loved to have seen the inside but unfortunatel it was closed when we were there. However, while it looks quite simple on the outside, I have read that it's strikingly beautiful inside with beautiful frescos and icons typical of Greek Orthodox churches. I believe that it also contains many tributes to sailors and other residents of the town.

This church was originally constructed inside the walls of the Castle of Oia but was destroyed in the 1956 earthquake. Then in 1965 it was moved/rebuilt on higher and more stable ground in its current location in the...

I visited the Church of Panagia Akathistos in Hymn, Santorini, and it was a truly serene and memorable experience. The church is beautifully maintained, with classic Cycladic architecture — crisp white walls, a charming blue dome, and delicate details that make it instantly recognizable.

The setting is peaceful, tucked away from the busier tourist areas, which allows you to enjoy a quiet moment of reflection while taking in the surrounding views. The interior is simple yet elegant, with icons and artwork that convey a sense of history and devotion.

I went in the late afternoon when the sunlight hit the white walls just right, creating a calm and almost magical atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot for photography, as well as for appreciating the quiet beauty of Santorini beyond the usual crowded viewpoints.

Whether you’re interested in local history, architecture, or just seeking a peaceful place to pause, the Church of Panagia Akathistos is worth a visit. It captures the charm and spirituality of the island in a way that feels both authentic...

Eine spirituelle Oase der Ruhe und Schönheit!

Der Besuch der "Church of Panagia Akathistos Hymn" war für mich eine unglaublich bereichernde Erfahrung. Diese Kirche strahlt nicht nur eine tiefe spirituelle Atmosphäre aus, sondern beeindruckt auch durch ihre beeindruckende Schönheit und historische Bedeutung.

Die Kirche selbst ist ein Meisterwerk der byzantinischen Architektur. Die kunstvoll gestalteten Fresken und Ikonen erzählen Geschichten von Glauben und Hingabe, während die aufwendig gearbeitete Kuppel den Raum mit einer Aura der Ehrfurcht erfüllt. Der Ort vermittelt ein Gefühl von Frieden und Kontemplation, das schwer in Worte zu fassen ist.

Die "Panagia Akathistos Hymn" Kirche ist ein Ort, an dem man die Zeit vergessen kann, während man die reiche Geschichte und Kultur Griechenlands auf sich wirken lässt. Die Liebe zum Detail in den Gemälden und Schnitzereien macht deutlich, wie wichtig spirituelle Hingabe und künstlerische Ausdrucksformen in der Vergangenheit waren.

Die Stimmung der Kirche wird noch verstärkt durch die umgebende Umgebung. Die ruhige Lage abseits des Trubels bietet einen wunderbaren Kontrast zum geschäftigen Treiben anderer Orte. Es ist fast so, als ob die Zeit hier langsamer verläuft und die Besucher die Möglichkeit haben, sich auf ihre Gedanken und Gefühle zu konzentrieren.

Insgesamt war mein Besuch in der "Church of Panagia Akathistos Hymn" eine bewegende Erfahrung, die mich in eine Welt der Spiritualität und Schönheit entführt hat. Diese historische Stätte verdient ohne Zweifel fünf Sterne und ist ein Ort, den ich jedem empfehlen würde, der nach einem Ort der Ruhe, Inspiration und kulturellen...

Tucked away in the stunning village of Oia, the Panagia Akathist Holy Church is a small yet spiritually rich Orthodox church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Akathist Hymn. Its traditional Cycladic architecture, peaceful surroundings, and beautiful sea views make it a quiet refuge from the bustling tourist streets. Though not as famous as some other landmarks, it offers a genuine sense of serenity and local devotion. Perfect for a short visit or simply enjoying the charm of Oia beyond the postcard photos.
