Panagia Krina, Byzantine church in Vaviloi Chiou, Greece
The Panagia Krina stands among olive groves and fields, featuring architectural elements that reflect traditional Eastern Orthodox design principles and craftsmanship.
Built between the late 12th and early 13th centuries, this religious structure contains inscriptions from 1287 and operated as a monastery until documented renovations in 1747.
The church functions as part of the Metropolis of Chios, Psara, and Oinousses, representing local Orthodox traditions through its religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
Visitors reach the church by following a path through agricultural lands, located one kilometer past the Vavylos settlement on the road toward Sklavia.
The structure remains one of the few local architectural replicas of the catholicon design found in the New Monastery of Chios.
