St Demetrius
Eight kilometers along the road from Loutraki to Perachora, by the hill, which was once the acropolis of ancient Peraea, stands the little single-aisled basilica of St Demetrius, which was built and had its wall paintings executed in 1750. These paintings - depicting Our Lady enthroned, the Crucifixion, Christ Pantocrator, the saints in attitudes of prayer, etc. - are works of great art, and a visit to the church cannot fail to be spiritually uplifting.
