Lovely frescoes at the entrance welcome one to the grand place of worship. Contributing to the grand facade, in addition to the elegant and ornate white tower belfry. Richly embellished, the interior is striking. A marvellous iconastasis is the divider between the between the priest and congregation. Gilt and paintings make it an awe inspiring sight. Predominantly in a dark azure hue, the lined ceiling has some holy images and impressive suspended lighting.

Sveta Marina is not an ordinary Orthodox church. It creates a very "light" feel both externally and internally, Decorations may not be traditional, but very inspiring. Great place to visit regardless your religious beliefs.
