The Panagia Ekatontapyliani is one of the most beautiful churches in this part of Greece. The name translates to Our Lady of the Hundred Gates. Interestingly, only 99 gates have been found in the church. Legend says that when the 100th door or gate is found, the city of Istanbul will be returned to Greece!
