You can’t help but look at the beautiful church on the rocks as you approach Petra from road or sea. We made a special visit from Molyvos to climb the steps and visit the pretty church and courtyard. Lovely views from the top. Definitely worth seeking out if in the area.

Lesvos's only Roman Catholic Church was built in 1843 and was used as a monastery until 1979. Relics of St Valentine are found under the main altar. The Church was recently restored in 2013 uncovering her beautiful frescos.
