An old traditional church situated near Dryopida(Driopida) village, Kythnos island, Cyclades, Greece

---

Apart from being historically and architecturally interesting, the whitewashed chapels, old Byzantine churches and monasteries of Kythnos are very important to local society as they are bound up with its faith and religion. Furthermore, they resemble small oases on a treeless land during the summer heat, usually offering a cool and protected shelter to the passer-by or a fine resting point of magnificent view.
