In the traditional environment of Papigo with its stone-built houses and pebbled streets stand out the two churches with the surrounding area. In the Great Papigo, Saint Vlassios and in the Small Papigo the church of Taxiarxes.

Avragonios

Interesting name which describes a unique combination of chapel and cool fountain under the protective shade of a perennial plane tree and at a distance of 10- minutes from the Small Papigo.

Monastery of Spiliotissas

3

The inevitable passage of Voidomatis on the way to Papigo offers us the opportunity for a small walk through the forest of the riverside maple trees which leads to the remarkable monastery of the 15th century of the “Panagia of Spiliotissas”.
Nested in the cavities of the Rock which narrows the passage of Voidomatis, is alive although empty from human presence in the humming sound of the river.

Saint Christophoros

A covered shrine in the top of forest hill, west of the Great Papigo and within short distance from the village. The stroll until there will compensate you with the panoramic view which offers the valley of Voidomatis and Astraka which will fascinate you.
