You will find the old church on the left hand side of the road, 100 metres before the bridge that joins the shores of the Tremithos river, as well as if you travel from Kalo Chorio to Psevdas. It is a 1878 construction and it is the third church that is being built in the same place. It is a very beautiful construction in terms of architecture and its walls are greatly thick. On the inside it is plain and simple.

It is said that in this church, back when Muslims settled the community, it was visited and worshipped, and even offered their offerings to it. Offerings that came after prayers towards the Saint, in order for them to be realised.

The church was built at this location because back in the old days, a resident of the village that dealt with agricultural works, when moving stones that were in his field, he found an icon of Agia Anna under a big stone.

Settlers told us that the icon of Agia Anna of their village is Miraculous.

The new church was built in the 1970’s, with the help of donations from the settlers of the community and with a lot of volunteer work. It is found east of the village on a small hill, next to a small park for children, that has been left for some reason, resulting to the complete destruction of the toys that are there for the children. On the inside it is fully frescoed with iconography.
