The village of Asklipio has a superb Byzantine church and a medieval castle to offer as sights to its visitors. Its is a rather small but lively village, with a fairly large population. The heart of the village is the square in front of the Church of the Dormition. You should take a look at the interior of the church, which was built in 1060 and has been recently restored, and admired the extraordinary fine Byzantine wall paintings. Just next door, in the church's old olive press, you will find a small folklore museum. After visiting the church, take the road up to the castle. At the top of the hill the medieval fortifications offer a marvellous view of the beach stretching endlessly from Kiotari all the way to Gennadi.
