Apollonia
Ierós Naós tou Taxiarchón

The Holy Church of the Taxiarchs was built in 1650. Do not try to translate its name with an online translator, it will tell you that it is the "sacred temple of the taxi drivers". Taxiarchs are the archangels Michael and Gabriel, military leaders of the "heavenly armies" in Orthodox theology.
