Church of Panagia, Orthodox church in Lindos, Greece

Church of Panagia is an Orthodox church in Lindos featuring a stone bell tower, cross-shaped interior plan, and octagonal dome topped with red Byzantine tiles. The whitewashed walls and traditional construction style define its appearance in the village.

A 14th-century cross-domed church dedicated to the Virgin Mary was rebuilt in Gothic style in 1489/90 on the orders of Pierre d'Aubusson, Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller. The west side gained an open narthex with ribbed vaulting, and a free-standing bell tower was added later.

Inside you can see handmade pebble mosaics on the floor, known as hohlaki, alongside carved wooden icons and a bishop's throne. These elements show how local craftwork and Byzantine tradition come together in one place.

The church sits near the main square of Lindos and sits along the path toward the Acropolis. Visitors find it easy to reach since it is centrally located in the village and accessible during a walk around the area.

The frescoes around 1800 show the Creation in the upper band, the twenty major church feasts below it, and the Akathistos Hymn beneath that. In the lowest register, look for Saint Christopher with a dog's head, a detail many visitors miss.
