Myrtonas village

A small settlement, sometimes also called Mertonas, lying north of Aperi and accessible from the road Aperi-Spoa. There are several scattered houses hiding amidst the greenyr of a densely wooded slope. For the visitors, the moast interesting place is the little church of Panagia Mertonitissa with an ancient fresco and a cross with eight spikes in the apsis window, the symbol of the Knights of Malta who governed the island for several years in the Middle Ages. Close to the church, you will find an abundant water spring.
