VILLAGESDesillas CHURCH OF THE PANAGIA (VIRGIN MARY) The main church in Desillas sits below the village square and shares its expansive view of the plain of ancient Stenyclarus. Approached by a road with a "Happy Easter" message, the church has a three arched forecourt and a surprising number of arched windows. Typically, Orthodox churches are not illuminated by the sun from without, but from what originates within. Hence why their interiors are adorned with reflective materials such as gold mosaic; gilded icons; polished metals; coloured floors and walls and flickering oil lamps and candles. Shame the church is locked!
