Agios Pandeleimonas (Saint Pantaleon)
The small, barrel-vaulted, single-nave church was probably rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th C., close to the commercial port of Kalo Chorio. The surviving inbuilt decorative glazed bowls on its exterior possibly testify to its being older. The church was obviously destroyed by fire as only the cross and the damaged icon of St. Panteleimon survive from its once elaborate altar screen. As was determined after the icon’s cleaning, it was used to paint the icon of Christ at around the beginning of the 20th C. Outside of the small church are graves, not only of residents of Katevati but also of others who were slaughtered by the explosion of a mine from those that the Germans had placed along the coastline of Kalo Chorio.
