Chruch of Pera Panagia
The church of Pera Panagia is located a few kilometers east of the village of Marmara, a two-aisle basilica with vaulted narthex and a flat roof. Three arches connect the two aisles and are supported by ancient columns. The north is dedicated to the birth of Theotokos and the south to Agios Nikolaos. The little church was built on an idyllic site, with a tiled path lined by eucalyptus trees leading to the entrance, which is dominated by a lovely, marble, double-arched bell tower. The icon screen found in the church is carved of wood and gilded. The icon of Panagia Marmariani dates from the 17th century, but has been heavily restored.
Church of the Kimisis tis Theotokou
Kimisis tis Theotokou is the parish church of the village of Marmara. The majestic church, with simple Aegean lines, has a dome and three-arch bell tower above the entrance, and two belfries (one small and one slightly larger with two levels) above the aisles at each end. The left aisle below the small belfry is essentially a second church, which was added on to the main church at a later date and is dedicated to Timios Prodromos. The icon screen in the main church is made of carved wood and gilded.
Agia Marina
The unusual country church of Agia Marina has a second aisle attached, dedicated to Agios Artemios. It is located in the village square and is surrounded by trees. The main church, dedicated to Agia Marina, has a dome supported on four columns and an arched narthex.
Agios Savvas
Built in 1608, Agios Savvas is a three-corner country church with a five-sided dome, and a unique arched bell tower made of dark limestone.
