Holy Church of Panagia Kardiotissa (Fourfouras)

Holy Church of Panagia Kardiotissa (Fourfouras)
The founding inscription revealed in the sanctuary, as well as the later inscription on the main temple, confirms its dedication to the Virgin Mary by Nikolaos Arkoleos and members of his family. The written sources also document in the area of Amari the presence of a branch of the well-known family linked to the tradition of the Twelve Nobles, while notarial documents of the 17th century confirm the existence of a monastery in that particular location.
The inhabitants of Fourfouras choose to celebrate May Day every year in this wonderful, green location of cypress trees overlooking the Amari Valley.
