⛪ Did you know? ⛪

The Church of Ypapanti in Lakka, built in 1601, is the only two-domed church in the Ionian Islands! According to local legend, it was constructed over the underground cave of Hypapante, where a miraculous icon was hidden in one of the four wells beneath the church. 🙏✨

The bell tower, completed in 1772, features four Russian-origin bells, and the stunning marble iconostasis was added in 1909. Every Easter, the silver icon of Ypapanti makes a sacred journey through the villages of Paxos, connecting tradition and faith. 🕊️
