The church of Eleistria
In Eleistria's southern part, in the cellar is the crypt where
sculptures were found, which purifies both natives and foreign votaries
of Christianism.
The Church of the Patron Saint of Eleistria (i.e. The Merciful holy
Virgin) was erected in the southern historical and rocky slope between
the sea's immensity and the Castle. It was erected within three years
time as a psalm rising in the sky the generous fruits of the faith of
the people of Koroni.

 Skilled artisans from Karpathos built with well-hewn stones
the modern, triune church which was inaugurated on December 26,1990.
The Church's commemoration feasts are: Zoodochos Pigi (i.e. life-giving
source), each Xolambri Friday of the Annunciation, on March 25, the day
of Stavros on September 14 as well as on January 21-22 where the
celebration of Evresis (i.e.
Finding) takes place.
