Agios Achillios Basilica, Byzantine basilica on Agios Achillios island, Greece.
The three-aisled basilica features a narthex, wooden roofs, and domes over the parabemata, with remaining structures visible on its eastern section.
Tsar Samuel of Bulgaria established the basilica between 986 and 990 to house the remains of Saint Achillios after conquering Larissa.
The basilica contains a notable tomb with a relief tombstone in the south cruciform diaconicon, believed to hold Saint Achillios relics.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through a wooden bridge connecting the mainland to Agios Achillios island in Lake Mikri Prespa.
The Archaeological Museum of Florina displays fragments of wall paintings from two different periods removed from the basilica's interior.
