The white walls and blue domes under the clear sky give a feeling of calm.

Katarzyna Zielińska Where exactly is it? What time are services on Sunday and can you enter as a visitor?
Мариана Петкова This is in Santorini, in the church of Panagia Episkopi. On Sundays, mass begins at 8:30 and tourists can enter, but quietly and without taking pictures during the service.
Daniel Baker The blue domes really stand out against that whitewash. I read the bishopric there was built on the site of an old 11th-century monastery. Liturgy at 8:30 sounds early, hope the coffee is decent after.
Тетяна Литвин Panagia Episkopi is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In Kharkiv, such an early liturgy would get me out of bed only if I was on duty in the choir.
Teodora Jovanović Panagia Episkopi is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is interesting that the liturgy starts so early, here in Niš it usually starts at nine. Thanks for the information.
Paweł Nowak Beautiful blue domes on white walls, it's good that you can enter as a visitor, but without photos during the liturgy.
Photini Miller Nice clear blue against the white.
Margaret Collins The white walls and blue domes look so clean and simple. Is there parking nearby or do you have to walk up from the main road?
Полина Беляева Thanks for the photo. Where can you leave your car if you come to work?
ნინო კაპანაძე Panagia Episkopi is on the very edge of the caldera, just above Fira. There is a small car park just off the road below, but it fills up quickly on Sundays.
Rachel Miller The blue really pops against those white walls. Is the path up from the parking spot steep?
Галина Михайлова Thanks for the photo. I would like to see these domes in person. Is the coffee after the early liturgy really decent there?
Павел Петров Panagia Episkopi stands right on the edge of the caldera, from there the view of the sea is simply excellent. And after the liturgy, in the tavern just below you can always get fresh bread and olives, it’s been checked.
Fernando García The whitewashed walls with those small and low blue domes make me think that the building cannot be very old, surely it was rebuilt after an earthquake.
Adam Nowak Yes, the roadside parking fills up quickly, especially on Sundays. It's better to arrive earlier.
Галина Панченко The Episcopal Panagia is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. And after the service in the tavern below, can you really take fresh bread with olives?
Πέτρος Σταθόπουλος The blue of the domes stands out much more up close. However, it is better to arrive early because the small parking lot fills up quickly.
Alexandru Barbu Yes, that blue of the domes stands out against the white of the walls. Thanks for the picture.
Anna Moore The white walls and blue domes look really striking. When exactly did you take this photo?
Дмитрий Васильев Where exactly is this church in Santorini, closer to Fira or Oia? And is it possible to just come in on a weekday without service?
Johannes Becker The white walls and blue domes look really clean. Are there fixed opening hours for visitors on weekdays or can you just walk by?
Евгения Фёдорова Beautiful domes, white walls.
Теодора Василева These white walls and low domes look much older than one would think at first glance. I read that the foundations are from the 11th century, and then they were repaired after the earthquakes.
Ελένη Κωνσταντίνου Panagia Episkopi is dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin. The blue of the domes looks even more intense up close, it's a good idea to go early because the parking lot fills up quickly.
Анастасия Кузнецова Yes, the parking along the road is really small, on Sunday it is better to arrive half an hour before the start.
Javier López I would like to see that church in person someday. Do you have to reserve to enter or can you go directly?
Олег Мельник Panagia Episkopa stands almost at the very edge of the caldera, from where you can see the entire western side of the island. You can also visit on weekdays, but it is better after lunch, because the area is often cleaned in the morning.
Κατερίνα Παπαδοπούλου The domes are a little lighter blue than usually seen in photos. The white on the wall next to the door has some small cracks that are clearly visible.
Виолета Попова Nice picture. When exactly did you do it, in the morning or later in the day?
Thomas Taylor The white walls and blue domes really stand out in that clear sky. Is the church open to visitors on weekdays outside of service times?
Ευάγγελος Αναγνώστου Where exactly did you take this photo? And what time was it?
Ксения Виноградова Thanks for the photo. When exactly did you do it, in the morning or around lunchtime?
