This is one of the bigger churches, and what's most impressive about the size is that it's entirely carved out of a rock. There aren't many frescos here, and it is a bit off the beat track, but that can sometimes be a good thing -- there were no other people around when I was there. There are some nice views from the roof of the church as well.

Annargiros Kilisesi, kubbesi ve dört sütunu ile kayaya oluşmuş kilise de 1877′den kalma duvar resimleri hala görülebilmektedir. Kilisenin çevresindeki kayadan oyma odalar Aziz Anargiros bayramına gelen hacılara ve hastalara hizmet vermekteydi. Tamamı kayalardan oyulmuş bu kilisenin yapım tarihi bilinmiyor. Kilisenin dışında bulunan odalara ölümcül hastalar bırakılır ve dua edilir eğer hasta iyileşirse azizlerin yardım ettiğine inanılırdı. Kilise, Rumların ilçeyi terk etmelerinden sonra belli bir süre çömlek atölyesi olarak kullanmıştır. Kilisenin üzerindeki tepeden panoramik manzara görülmeye değer.

The Church of Annargiros, the dome and the Church with its four pillars, and the wall paintings dating from 1877 can still be seen. The rock-carved rooms around the church were serving pilings and patients who came to the feast of St. Anargiros. This church, carved out of all the rocks, is unknown. In the rooms outside the church, deadly patients are left and prayed, if the patient recovers, it was believed that the Saints helped. After the Greeks left the county, the church used it as a pottery workshop for a certain period of time. The panoramic view over the church is worth a visit.
