Naos Episkopis, Eastern Orthodox mausoleum in Sikinos, Greece
The marble structure features a cross-in-square plan with a central dome and red-tiled roofs, incorporating elements from ancient Greek architecture.
Originally constructed in the third century as a Roman mausoleum, the building transformed into a temple of Pythian Apollo before becoming a Byzantine church.
The interior contains a wooden iconostasis decorated with both modern and ancient icons, including the Panagia Glykofilousa representation.
The monument opens exclusively on August 15 for the annual Dormition of the Virgin festival, requiring visitors to plan their trips accordingly.
Archaeological excavations in 2017 revealed an undisturbed grave containing jewelry and artifacts belonging to a woman named Neiko.
